I recently got my Lionel Milwaukee Road S-3 #265 back from Lionel, and smoke problems etc. were all fixed, and it smokes better than before. But last night when I wanted to run the engine for a friend, I had different problems. Using TMCC, setting the code for the engine, it fired up, but wouldn't move. Then I shut down the power, re-tried, the engine fired up as if it was in conventional, as I didn't have to touch the TMCC remote to get a response; and the MTH Z4000 transformer was reading about 15 volts at full throttle. The headlight and class lights on the engine seemed to be flickering, and all I had was a continuous ring of the bell. No whistle and no movement. Once in a while the circuit breaker would flash on the Z4000. I tried again and the same results. After a 24 hour rest, off the track, I tried again, with all the same problems. Any ideas? Has the circuit board blown? To test any problems with the TMCC, I fired up my other S-3 all sharing the same power, and it responded as it should in TMCC. Thanks for helping me out again.
