       No Sound

       I have a Lionel Mikado #1210 Item number 6-18080 which has lost
       sound.  I've had the boards tested on a test jig and I get
       plenty of sound. I can fire the rear coupler. When I put the
       boards back into the tender I'm back where I started, No Sound.
       Has anyone had the same issue?

       Although the sound board may check good, it sounds like the
       board is not getting the proper command signals.
       Try running the loco in Conventional mode and hook up the Sound
       Activation buttons to check if the basic bell and whistle sounds
       can be operated this way. If not, there is a bad board, even
       though the sounds can be triggered in the test jig.
       If the sounds operate with the buttons but not in Command mode,
       the board is again bad, as it is not receiving the proper
       trigger signal.
       Either way, there is a bad board.
