Does any one have a test method for checking out if a RCDR RADIO RECEIVER (S04 code) board is bad? Not sure if this board is bad or if DCDS motor control board is bad.
This is from a Vision-Line 2-10-10-2, catalog number 6-11155. This has the Railsounds 6.0 system.
Part number for the RCDR is 691RCDR104
Part number for the DCDS-J MOTOR DRIVER / TETHERED BRIDGE / S19 CODE is 691DCDS117
Motor will not move. Will not operate in legacy or conventional. Tender works as it should (sounds, back-up light, rear coupler fires, etc.). Headlight on steam engine comes on and will get brighter (rule 17) when throttle up, but no movement. Cab lights do not work, but marker lights do work, along with number board lights. Tested main drive motor with external DC supply and it works fine. When I manually push the locomotive, rolling the wheels, the chuffing sound does not occur. This engine has a chuff switch. I have to rebuild the smoke units as they do not work. Not sure if smoke control board is bad or not.
Thanks.
