Looking for help on this. Recently acquired a 3rd rail locomotive and the board is fried. The engine made a few laps and then the dreaded smell of burning electrical parts and sudden stop put an end to it. I removed the tender and found the source of the damage. From my understanding these are Lionel electrical components.  I am a complete novice to these things and would appreciate any advice that can be given. Can the board be replaced? Where can I find such a part? Any and all help is appreciated.

You have a pretty classic failure of  Train America’s EOB electronics. I would make plans to replace everything with Electric RR components if you want to keep it TMCC. Mostly likely the motor sensor went along with the R2LC. The Railsounds board and its power supply may have survived but aren’t really usable without a RS motherboard to host them. You may want to seek out a competent tech to do all the work.

Keep that speaker, they are pretty nice!
