New Legacy Santa Fe Alco's | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

RoccoOGR Forum Member

I have had Legacy engines that I run each year and have never had a problem. I got the new Santa Fe Legacy Alco's (AA unit Power Plus Dummy)

I put the AA on the track in program mode set the address to 51 hit set heard the horn and reset the switch to run. I watched it run fine for 3 minutes around an Oval. Suddenly it stopped and went into neutral. I could not get it to go. Pulled it off the track restarted my system and still no change. It turns on, you can hear the engine running but no motion and no legacy functions are working.

It's almost like the Legacy address was wiped out. So I put it back on the track and set it to Program and tried to reprogram it but nothing happens. when I hit set. My other Legacy engines run fine on the same track.

I sort of remember this happening to someone else and they did something to reset the engine. Is it just bad and has to be sent back to Lionel or is there something I can do to reset it? Any help would be appreciated.

Open it up and try a new radio board.

Matt, it sounds like its a new set and doing so would void the warranty...

Yeah, I didn't think of that.

Could be a broken wire/bad solder issue to motors if all your sounds work. Had that on a Big Boy.

Final solution: Sending them back.
