6-14098 crossing gates with flashers NON-FASTRACK
By: ehl Date: December 26, 2016, 11:58 am
---------------------------------------------------------
I have a pair that I bought off of Ebay and the flashers don't
flash, one red led lights up on each cross buck and does not
flash however the gates do operate correctly. Are the led bulbs
burnt out? Is the PCB board defective on each unit? I have the
wires hooked up correctly to the 153C contactor per wiring
instructions and to the correct voltage. Each crossing signal
does work independently or together the same as mentioned above.
I did get a refund from the seller and was allowed to keep them
so I am trying to repair verses discarding them. Any help is
appreciated. Ed

If your signal is new and from a lionel dealer. I would send it
to lionel for warranty repair and you need to call lionel and
get a RA number.

The gates are not in warranty so I am attempting a repair on my
own. It's a challenge as well because I am a retired Lionel
Service Station called Ed's Trains and pre and post war is my
specialty. I say IS because I'm still repairing but Lionel
retired me because I didn't want to get into all the new
electronics with circuit boards. This item has a circuit board
and therefore creates the challenge that I've taken on. So I'm
looking for any help that I can get,however I understand most
would trash them if not under warranty. Ed

If you can, carefully swap the 2 LED's on each crossing gate,
watching out for their polarity when reinstalling them. This
will tell you if the LED's are OK. If they both are good and
they do not blink, then the circuit board is bad.

I didn't mention on the original post that the LEDs that don't
stay lit do very briefly blink so I think the LEDs are good and
the circuit board is faulty. What's up with NLT, I entered all
the correct data into their parts search and came up with item
not found so I emailed them a week ago with no response. Ed
