Pat, when Ford dumped the parts over 10 years old they did it across the board and not just Power Control Modules. Lionel is not purging everything old but instead just these boards.
Now that reminds me of the phone conversation I had with Lionel parts back in September. She said the boards were pulled because of age and to make room for more parts. I think somebody at Lionel decided that anything with electrolytic capacitors 10 years of age or older had to go......into the dumpster. Thanks Lionel for looking out for us. The baby went right out with the bathwater.
