Recently purchased a 30-9106 at Train Show that was working intermittently. Now it doesn't run at all. It would start up and stop right before the folding door went up. Any others out there with a fix to the electronics???
Thanks Steve

There are limit switch that have to work, so if it is moving with sound, but the door doesn't open it may be a simple limit switch adjustment.
Or the door motor failed.
The previous repairs I have made have been faulty drive motor for the car that damages the board.
I do have spare parts for it. MTH sells the motors and or the whole gear box assembly with motor. Just requires Medium to high skill level for disassembly and repair, and recording where all the plugs attach to the circuit board. G
I haven't been inside this one but I have been inside the McDonald's and the Mel's Diner and I can honestly say that taking these things apart sucks. There's a million screws and you can easily drop them inside

Steve,
George (GGG) is correct, however, do not be afraid of it. Work slow and take plenty of photos for reference later. Besides recording plug location take good clear photos.
