They do fail. I have few dead ones. If its the processor or related I am pretty sure its not repairable at least at a figure that makes sense. I can tell you even Lionel techs don't make component level repair and specifically told not to. If you put it aside you can get them half price next fall when they have their open house. Even if it turns out to be a virtual open house I suspect the half price parts deal will still be offered.
