I have a #345 Culvert Unloader that does not work. I bought it years ago but did not have space until I just expanded my layout. When I attach the transformer I can hear sounds even though the on/off switch is not attached. It does not work it just makes noise. I removed the body and all the wires are attached to the board. I brought it in to my Lionel repair facility and was told they don't repair this item. I am guessing there is something wrong with the board. It looks like a plug in board and all the plugs seem tight. It seems easy to replace the board ,looks like the wires just plug in.

Has anyone else had problems with this item?HPIM1400

As shown in the attached photo I removed the screws to check the connections.

I hooked the unloader to a transformer with the body unscrewed to the base and it was working. When I screwed the body back to the base it did not work. I took the screws back out and it is working again so I will just use it with the body unattached to the base.
