i have a Lionel model H-14-44 switcher with Odyssey and TMCC. It was running well and suddenly stopped moving. I reset the locomotive and the ID number and nothing changed. All sounds and functions work fine except for the movement. Any ideas.
Thanks

Product number?
Does it operate in conventional mode?
BOBBYD it does not run in conventional either. 1340 is the number on the locomotive. It is at least 10 years old. It would take me a while to find the box for the product number. Thanks for your help.
Again, without the product number and a better description -- you don't list the road name, and there's no such thing as an "H-14-44" -- it's hard to help. We're not mind readers!
Having said that, I know this era of Lionel production fairly well, and you likely have a 6-28838 Union Pacific H-16-44.
Given what you've described, and that you've already tried a reset, there are two places to check.
1) Your R2LC could be bad. If you have a spare R2LC or can rob one from a product made approximately the same time, swap the board and see what happens. (I have a few extra R2LC's for sale, if you find this to be the problem.)
2) The other board that could cause those symptoms is the DCDS Odyssey Motor Driver. If this is the case, your best bet is to replace it with a Cruise Commander from Electric Railroad.
I hope this helps.

You are brilliant, it is the Union Pacific model. I have to admit I am not a tech guy, rather a composer. I appreciate your taking the time to answer, but do to my technical stupidity I will have to take it to a repair station. Thanks so much.

Today the H 16 44 worked briefly again. Does that change things?
First top would be to open it up and reseat all the boards and plugs. Look around for any loose wires, chafed wires, etc.
