G, Yes, top board is secure, and bracket is in place.

I have the headlight, Tender light, speaker, red markers, motor, tac, volume pot, smoke switch, smoke unit, smoke fan and rear coupler all wired up on the bench. Good ground, both on the PS3 board and on the boiler harness. Good VCC. (I am going right from power supply to the board leads, no track, no loco chassis)

I powered it up and I have 12 volts DC to the board. (measured across the supply leads) It draws 300mah at first power and settles out to 100mah draw after a few seconds. And nothing. No headlight, no sound. nothing.

I thought maybe its in conventional, so I tried pulsing the power to change direction hoping the motor would engage. Nothing.

I have tried disconnecting one component at a time and re powering up after each . Same symptoms, same current draw.

I don't know the board well enough yet to trouble shoot and without a schematic I'm hopeless at this point.
