Possible burnt board on 0-8-0
By: RaylRunner Date: December 11, 2020, 1:42 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
I have a Tmcc 0-8-0 switcher, they locomotive was Inadvertently
places on DC LionMaster track, a polar express set I had set up
for my Nephew, guess he though the old berk was not big enough.
Any ways it didn’t stay long but I did get white smoke and the
horrible smell of burned electronics. Right now it trips the
transformer on the AC track. I’ve inspected the boards I do not
see any damage. Any ideas what may have burned up?

Welcome to the forum!
Sorry to hear of your dilemma, but it sounds like the board is
toast. If you saw smoke, the electronics burned - witness the
transformer circuit breaker trips. Time for a replacement board.

being burned up, any idea how to get a replacement?

The Lionel product number is needed to start the search.

Here is the parts diagram for your loco.

There are multiple boards in it, and with no obvious sign of
burning, testing each board is needed, and this is for the
factory to do.
At this point in time, call Lionel for an RA number, and ship it
to them for repair.

The burnt smell is definitely coming from 35 and or 38. I’ve
sent an email off to Lionel to see what they have to say, thank
you very much for your help

Choose your state and contact an authorized Lionel Dealer. They
should be able to direct you how to get your loco repaired.

Well I’ve tried calling and emailing Lionel, even contacted the
most local Lionel service center. I ordered the parts from
Lionel and never even got a confirmation email back from them. I
am a little confused is this a normal behavior from Lionel?
