I recently bought a 3rd Rail PRR Mountain from a forum member. It arrived perfectly and ran just as well. Tonight while running the engine the tender derailed. Ever since I can not operate in TMCC mode. When I power the engine I immediately get sound as if it is in conventional mode. I did a search and in previous posts members wrote to check the antenna and the boards. The boards look ok (not loose) but not sure what to look for with the antenna. I tried reprogramming the engine but without any luck.

Try to reset the R2LC with the program switch.  New ID and engine specific cde.  Maybe the R2LC got confused.  That is always a good first step. 

 

Tender sounds starting means the tender is not getting serial data.  If this has Cruise that can also effect no motion.

 

The other issue is where is the antenna for the engine. If the antenna is grounded to frame that kills the TMCC signal.  Doesn't explain no motion in conventional though.   G
