Solved Replaced Railsound board on NYC Diner Not loading right - wrong Part Number

Try reseating the chips in the RailSounds audio board, you'll need a PLCC chip tool.  That frequently cures older RailSounds oddball scrambled sound issues.  The contacts oxidize and cause poor connections after a few years.

Tried that.  I broke a pin on a smaller chip.  Stepped back.  I will try to order both chips (smaller and large) specific to the NYC diner from Lionel.  Can I send it to Henning’s for repair?

Don't know if you can order the chips, but you can order the whole board if they still have them.  What's the product number of the diner.  FYI, the 71–5383–250 number is a generic manual number not the actual product number.

6-15383 Is the number.  The board they sent me came with incorrect chips.  Sounds like a steam loco.  Tried original chips.  Don’t work.  I will send an email

Lionel sent me incorrect part number board with chips.  I need to call Kristin tomorrow and swap for correct.

I see you have this marked solved, did you sort it out?

Yes.  They sent wrong chip set.  They could not process credit card orders for today and tomorrow.  Go figure.  Probably buried with Christmas purchases.  Sounds like PE cars have been an issue after reading this forum.  I wii place the order for the right item online this evening.
