Lionel TMCC Steam Engine 6-28051

When you say you changed the radio board, do you mean the sound board or the R2LC board? The problems you are having sound like the latter to me. I would swap in a known good R2LC and try it.

We initially swapped all boards but using a TMCC switcher not TMCC Steam engine. I will now take the shell off a working similar era Steam Engine with pullmor motor and test the R2LC first. I wish there was a way to test boards without swapping them out using a personal engine!

I don’t know what is wrong with Lionel. They don’t answer emails at the talk to us address. I wanted them to test the boards for us and we would pay the fee but no response after a week. And we are a 25 year dealer!

By the way, I love Lionel’s Theatre car. Great camera and fun to use on the layout.

Thank you Rod!

Careful playing musical boards ......especially with locos with can motors and pullmors.....AC driver boards are different than DC driver boards....you could be on the verge of finding all the magic smoke.....Pat
