Legacy NW-2 Not Moving

I cannot say if this is related to your issue, but check the trucks for excessive play or even almost failing off when you pick up the engine.  There was a batch of Legacy switchers from Lionel that had issues with the screws holding the trucks in place not being tighten from the factory.  My SP&S had the issue.

Ironhorseman,

Thanks, I’ll check that out.

Dave,

     If you are using a CAB-2 remote make sure the brake is not on. The display screen will have a solid dark blue line underneath the speed screen when the brake is on full, Some times it sticks so move the break lever up and down. It has caught me off guard a few times.

If you’ve found the cause of the stall (traction tire) then simply hit reset on the cab-2 #0 and that’ll reset the RCMC if it moved but blinks again stop and recheck the trucks.  Do not continue to reset the RCMC as that can damage it if it still sees a high FLA

Guys,

Thanks for the suggestions! I’m still using TMCC to run my engines. So maybe the brake button is stuck on my remote. I’ll check that out. And I will try the reset. I think that will work using TMCC as well as Legacy.

Yes the cab-1 works the same way just hit #0

Truthfully, this sounds like a driveline issue.  This is the model with the single horizontal motor, right?

John, Yes it is!

If you're hearing motor noises when you try to move and it's not moving and then throwing the blinking cab light, it needs internal attention.

Looks like I may have to send it out for repair if that’s the case.

Yep, I'd cease trying to run it until you identify what is going on.
