repair Lionel railsounds 2.5 card. 589-699

JeffreyJOGR Forum Member

Has anyone had experience repairing the Lionel rail sounds 2.5 card number 589-699? I have one that just quit working. It was going around the layout and just stopped making sounds. I have tried it in both TMCC and conventional, nada.

Examined the card for burn marks or arcing and saw none. Another engine with this same board works as designed. The two engines are a Lionel Yellow Belly (LCRU 1) and Commodore Vanderbilt (LCRU 2).

As with any mass produced product there are usually one or two known trouble areas; this part has been around since 1995 meaning it has a long history.

I am willing to blindly replace known issues with fresh parts in an effort to bring it back to life. If not I am going to replace it with an ERR sound card.

Any assistance would be appreciated.
