Hi all, I have one of the K-line 4-6-6T engines with the Lionel railsounds and cruise control. Surprisingly enough the TMCC works just fine, it's when it is in conventional control that it is having issues. At lower voltage the lights fade bright to dim, also the direction control kills the power but nothing happens (no movement) however if the you hit the whistle the whistle will sound and he engine will move hit it again and it whistles and goes back to neutral and so on. If you turn the juice up the light fade stops the direction control works but you still have the direction changing with the use of the whistle. I have seen engines that have not worked in TMCC or DCS but the conventional control worked or the whole engine was dead, but I have never had one where the TMCC works just fine but the conventional control is messed up. Anyway I could use a little insight as to what to do with his engine.

Did you try a reset of the R2LC Code? G
It sounds like a issue with the transformer, what model are you using?
I have not tried a reset yet, but will give it a try. The transformer is a k-line, I have not had any issues with other engines with it.
OK, so I hooked up my TMCC and reset the engine both the TMCC and the K-line cruise control. Engine works great on TMCC. Hooked it up to my K-line conventional transformer and it is worse than before, no reaction at all. So for the hell of it I cleaned off my layout and placed the Engine on there which is powered by a MTH Z-4000. Well what do you know it works just fine. Evidently my K-line Engine does not like my K-line Transformer
Interesting. G
