Good luck with the "Panties" Ed...
Only one of the four work with mine. These sometimes get bound up and the limit switch cannot reverse the direction or shut them off, they then turn to bind and burn up. What the sacrificial lamb of the system is either a triac in the the board or the motors and switches them selves.
You can do a component swap which I tend to do with mine, until the red x is found.
Either way if you get one that stops working, shut it down so it does not burn up...
Did you confirm the Pantagraphs are engaged in the slider mechanism?
Lionel will probably want them back to repair. I would check the car tilt system too before you send them back....
I know for sure one is. I had to reseat both of them as they had somehow slipped out of the pivot points. I do think both are. Their position looks identical to the other set that is working properly. I wonder if some linkage inside as slipped so only one of those U channels is engaging. I've asked Lionel about this issue. Thanks for the info.
