I would figure out WHY the old board failed- example failed drawbar wiring to the speaker given this is Lionchief- before slapping a new board into the engine and blowing it up again because the root cause problem was not fixed.

The #1 killer of these Lionchief boards is a drawbar wiring failure. All it takes is for the wire to break at the solder joint, there is no strain relief and it touches the metal of the drawbar injecting track power up the speaker lead into the board.

Thanks .  I will review and test what might of happened.   I don't even think this engine was ever run.  It sat in storage for about 3 years.  I Thought I would give it to the grandchildren.

I checked out the engine / boards and wiring.  All seems intaked.  I put a new board in and it is doing exactly the same thing.  It appears the main board is not the problem.   Does anybody have any ideas of what else it could be???  Perhaps

It's probably time to test those boards out of the engine.  I use a small set of test harnesses to exercise the original LC boards to insure I have working boards.
