Polar Express TMCC

I'm not sure which locomotive you have, but if it is the scale Berkshire with Legacy (Lionel #6-11203 or 6-11146 for example), the switch is located underneath the locomotive just above the right side trailing truck wheels.

Below is the procedure for a factory reset if you are using TMCC. The reset procedure using Legacy is different, mainly because in Legacy you can use the memory module supplied with the locomotive to set the various functions.

1. Ensure the TMCC base is connected to the track and all power is off.

2. Slide the "Run/Program" switch on the engine to "Program". You may have to turn the engine upside down and push the front truck to one side to see the switch.

3. Place the engine and tender on the track and turn on track power

4. Using the remote, press "ENG", and then a number (0-99)

5. Press "set". If successful, you will hear the horn sound and/or see the headlight flash.

6. To set the engine sounds and feature type, press Aux1 and then 74.

7. Turn power off, slide the "Run/Program" switch back to "Run"

8. Restore power and address the locomotive - it will now operate normally.

Happy New Year!

Actually, the Legacy modules don't really do a reset, and many Legacy engines have the same reset procedure, obviously with various reset codes that are dependent on the specific locomotive.

I believe that this is a conversion to TMCC.. so the program switch you are talking about is missing..

The program switch has to be somewhere, as it's a basic feature of TMCC.  It would really be bad if you could not reprogram the locomotive!

Are you sure that this is a conversion? Do you have the item # of the loco? Lionel hasn't made a TMCC PE, only the full scale version mentioned above which is actually a legacy loco.

I think you may have a "railsounds"( no TMCC) polar express.

No this is a conversion I took the shell off and the handrails are wired to the board and my current PE Berkshire does not have this as well as some extra boards so it is a TMCC conversion..

I have 3 PE Berkshires so I can compare them

If this has been upgraded to Tmcc, look and see if the reverse switch is being used for the program switch. The reset procedure is below, I would use code 4 as the reset code.

 If this is a ERR upgrade you can also connect pins 1&3 on the cruise and then program. After programming remove wire.

Boxcar Bill,

Thank you, the reversing switch is the program switch.. another PE to add to the collection..

Boxcar Bill, I saw a thread in which you commented that you had some of the lantern tops for a lionel switchtrack.  If you still have them, how can I contact you to purchase one?
