Reply to "Lionel 8632 engine running issues"

Unfortunately, the reverse units do go bad after being cycled & shocked w/ transients while running & during derailments. The damage is cumulative, and is just a question of when they will give out.  If the CMOS chip is toast, so is the board, but the power transistors, Q1-Q2 (TIP31) NPN, and Q3-Q4 (TIP32) PNP can be replaced easily... they are prone to fail with overloads on the motor... lots of heat, and sometimes popping open.
