Hey everyone!

At a local train show today I found a "new" Lionel Conventional Classics #2124W Lionel GG-1 Passenger Set, from 2008. 6-31777. (The GG-1 has a seperate number 6-38302)

Powered it up and it has lights, sounds (whistle + bell), but ZERO movement nor attempt. On the mth Z-4000 the amp meter doesn't move. (Has dual Pullmor motors).

Opened it up and everything visually looks good. Carefully examined both boards and nothing burnt/obvious. Cycled the power numerous times conventionally via throttle, and with the direction button.

The run/lock switch is good, i tested it's continuity.

I reseated all the pins and chips. Tried the other throttle on the z-4000 too.

I'm guessing it's something to do with the AC reverse unit board?

cs-691ACMC103-p ACMC / CONVENTIONAL AC REVERSE UNIT / S04 CODE /OBSOLETE

Is there any recommendations on things to look for or try?

Only other random note is the bell would keep turning on by itself.

Thank you!

Can you turn the armature(s) at all with your finger?  If the grease solidified, the power trucks may be locked up.  After 26 years, disassembly, cleaning, and re-greasing might be required.  Also check for magne-traction magnets which might have shifted to rub on the inside of the wheels like a brake.  My $.02.
