Looking for 691DCDS102 motor driver board. I believe I have it narrowed down to to. The engine would start running wide open. Took the shell off found the FETs burning hot. One desoldered and would trip the circuit breaker. Replaced that one and same thing. Unplug the track power wire to that circuit board all the command features work except speed. Put a 9 volt battery to the motors and didn't seem like they were pulling excessive amps. And it's the same problem in command or conventional. Thinking the bridge rectifier is bad but still learning Anyway looking for the board missed out on Lionel half off weekend. Not wanting to change to a ERR board because I lash it up with other legacy engines. Hoping to be steered in the right direction and not spend more than 50$ or I'll wait till next year. I know authorized dealers get parts at half off. Thanks Patrick

ERR boards are TMCC so any board would not be compatible with Legacy. Lionel has the board but it is $109.95. If you can live without this locomotive for 11 months you’ll save $50. The trick will be remembering. Add a note to your phone calendar for around November 1 to check the sale dates and what you need.
Thank you. I started a note book of parts already
It's also possible to replace the FETs on the DCDS and save a bunch of money. The trick it to replace them all, the one that was getting hot was probably good, it was the other one in the circuit that's likely shorted. Since the FET's are cheap, when I'm replacing them, I just stick a new set in.
I will give that a try. I bought 4. Thank you
