I bought my first Lionel TMCC engine at York.
I want to run it in conventional only,but when I put it on the track it powers up
and the sounds come on but it wont go forward or reverse.
I have it in "run" mode...but no go.
The item number is... 6-18589

if anyone has any ideas what I might be doing wrong I would appreciate any suggestions...Thanks

OK, I have a dumb question (yes, there really are dumb questions) considering that you are a Conventional operator, I'm presuming:
There is not a Lionel (TMCC or Legacy) Command Base active (powered up) in the area,
is there? If so the loco will sense the signal and default to Command operation.
You probably already know all that.
Since the sounds come up, I presume it knows it's in conventional mode. It should be as simple as plopping it on the track and then using the transformer reverse button to get it rolling. After running in command, the first time it comes up in conventional, it defaults to neutral. From then on, it defaults to forward.
