K-line GG1 kaput!

Don't worry Fred, there's guys and gals on here who can get that baby humming again,,,,,,sounds like a loose board to me,,,,,but....

Come on folks, lets get some help here.

Is this a recent K-Line GG-1?

I had an older K-Line GG-1 that was supposed to be TMCC ready, bought it from K-Line as a K-Line collector club item. The truck assemblies fell off of the powered wheelsets.

If it is TMCC equipped it may have DC can motors inside so you could see if you could wire it up to use with a 6 amp bridge rectifier from radio Shack. The bridge rectifier should be near $6.00. Temporary wire in the rectifier to the motors, if the motors work then the circuit board could be bad.

   When you done the reprogram, did the light flash or horn blow.

Bill

Bill, After reading your response I went to do the reprogram sequence again to determine whether the light flashed or horn blew.  Much to my surprise the railsounds started and it responded to the throttle a bit, but shut down after moving a fraction of an inch. It did this a few times more, then I pushed it , it started moving and I just finished running it for a half hour or so. It seems fine.  I'm puzzled to as why it now is accepting the reprogram, but I am very happy that it seems to work very well now .

Many thanks to Rod, Lee, and Bill for your help. Electronic workings are a great mystery and this engine reinforces that mystery to me. Fred

Fred,

 I didn't want to tell you, but I put a hex on that rascal, I thought you would give it to me along with $5 to take it off your hands.

 Glad its working right, still seems like a loose board somewhere. Told you there were some great people on here, they'll never let you down.

 Happy New Year,

Rod
