A friend bought a 1991 Lionel F3 A-B-A War bonnet set (6-11711) from a SoCal hobby shop (now gone) about a decade ago. The powered A had two AC Pullmor motors and an e-unit as TMCC was yet five years away. The shells are still pristine, so we suspect they were old/new stock. Oddly, someone, perhaps the store technician, had upgraded the powered A to TMCC with an ERR (2008) Rail Sounds AC/DC (or AC only) Commander. It all ran well until recently when the motors quit working. Everything looks OK, and all sounds work properly. Response to a reset was normal, but the motors did not awaken. The Diesel roar rev’s up and down with the throttle knob, but no motor response ( not even a hum to indicate the motors are trying). Seems as if a motor driver blew, or the thing got locked into neutral. Anyone out there have the key?
