Reply to "Lionel 2026 Repair E Unit"

I would take engine apart and directly clip transformer leads to roller and frame, removing the wheel to track contact, then see if engine does same thing.  If it does then I would check that the e unit armature is fully rotating the drum through one position and not stopping in an odd position.  Another check would be if there is a frayed wire(s) that make intermittent shorts or open that trips the E unit coil from it "clunking" vibration.  Is the on/off lever tightly fastened to board and making secure contact to the rivet connection?
