I have reprogrammed a recent purchase (used). The railsounds are great, and the lights, and the couplers....but it won’t move forward. It jerks a bit. It flashed three times, then the lights went out. Any ideas? I think I’ll take it over to Brassuer’s on Tuesday.
K-Line K3480-0001 TMCC w/ Railsounds

I would pull the engine shell and reseat all the boards and connectors. Turn the flywheel to make sure nothing is binding. These are pretty basic engines.

I am trying to remember back aways. I think I had a K-Line engine that exhibited the same symptom and found that the cruise control was not lined up correctly.. What I mean is there is a flywheel with a paper tape around it with black hash marks that a pickup reads. The fly wheel would rise up when in one direction or the other preventing the pickup from seeing the tape. Like I said it has been awhile but you could check to make sure these items are aligned correctly or that the tape is still attached to the flywheel. just saying.
This engine doesn't have cruise. At least it didn't from the factory. No tach tape. TAS and MTH use tach tapes.

Like I said I think it was a K-Line Engine. I have a number of them. Did not exactly say it was the B-6. It was worth the look to be sure.
