REPAIR of 22975 (345) CULVERT UNLOADER / (COMMAND CONTROLED)

There are only 2 boards in the unloader.  A motherboard and an r2lc-06 radio board.  What is the actual problem?  "Doesn't work"  does not help us to help you.  If the radio board died, you could try an r2lc-08 board.  The unloader came with a radio board that was an 06.  Most of the time the 08 is a perfect replacement.  If its an issue with the motherboard, you are probably out of luck.  That board has programmable chips on it that only Lionel would have the code for.

I dont think it is a Mechanical Issue. Had most the TOP End of this thing apart.  Both the Motors function, so must be the Boards. I see entire Units on TRAINZ & EBAY for a little over a $100.00.  A couple are NEW in the box, so the BOARDS are probably that much. Thanls for the reply though!

A new radio board is around 70 from ERR. For those prices I would just replace it.

Is "it" the board or the accessory?

I would replace the accessory.

After taking that thing apart and spending the rest of the day assembling it back in one piece, I think you are right!!  Purchase a "NEW" One!!

Thanks,
