So, the locomotive from the Pocahontas set I bought 5 weeks ago that has spent all but 2 days at my house is back from its second visit to Lionel for problems. So, I wanted to fire it up and try it out tonight. I put it in Program mode and fired up the track and Legacy system, but the loco immediately makes that "clunk clunk clunk ... Clunk clunk clunk" sound it would have at idle in conventional. I tried programming it but no whistle to tell you it's set. I put it in run and the loco will actually move forward and backward but no other effects work - basically, it only makes that same "at idle" clunk clunk sound regardless of what the loco is doing or what other buttons I press. No puffing smoke, no whistle or bell, no back up light, nothing. I tried the Programming thing 3x but like I said, from the second the loco gets juice, the idle conventional sound is running. I checked the wire running from the Legacy to the common post on the TIU and it is perfectly secure. The track is getting 18v. Legacy is plugged in. Help.
