Lionel Legacy PRR J1a not responding correctly to velocity wheel | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

SLQ32OGR Forum Member

So i have a New Lionel legacy w/bluetooth J1a 1931420 that was working fine.

Now, on the cab 2 remote, once i turn the velocity wheel to 1, The cab light goes out the sounds start like normal it looks like it wants to go with slight movement being observed on the side rods however i need to continue to at least "30" to get it to start rolling at the same speed it was rolling at setting "1". I put a load of about 10 cars and need to go to "50" to get it to move. There is no other issue with any other features. No difference with smoke on or off, no blinking cab light. With the engine on a test track, I have reset the engine multiple times. Cleared it on the remote and reprogrammed it several times. There is no Odyssey II on/off switch on this engine. All other Legacy steam engines run fine.

I am at a loss with this one.

Sounds like Odyssey is disabled. I don't know how that happens in the new stuff with no switch...

Lionel has not made a Pennsy M1 since 2014 when they made the coal hauler set. Do you have the product number for the model you are talking about?

My bad it's the J1a 1931420 I will edit this in my original post.

If that is case, open the switch panel on top and make sure the Odyssey system is turned on.

Sid is right, if it's a 2014 model, it has the Odyssey switch and your symptoms are classic "Odyssey turned off".

I made a mistake in the original post. This is a 2019 J1

In that case I would do a factory reset using code 0. Look in the manual for the procedure.

Done it several times on the test track. I will give it another try tonight after work.

If you've reset by reprogramming the TMCC ID, then it sounds broken.

I will probably need to send it back. The reset according to the manual is simple.
