@gunrunnerjohn posted:Peter, as Rick points out, the voltage regulator is by far the top suspect. I hope you used an 8 ohm resistor in that one, Lionel recommended replacing the 6 ohm one years ago, they were eating regulators. I keep a stock of regulators .
Do you have a communication or link to that Lionel recommendation? I think I have recently replaced a 6 ohm for a 6 ohm on another locomotive. Interested if that was an across the board replacement recommendation or only on certain models/years.
