Engine not working. Need Help.

It would help if you could post the product number,it will start with a 6-xxxxx.

Are you sure it's the motor? Check to see if there's power at the motor. It may be the electronic e-unit that you smell.

Doug,

The product number is 6-18808. I tested the power to the engine and came up with 0 on the meter. 

Looks like you could be right and it being the electric E unit.  Is there another way to test the E Unit to see if that is the problem? Would I be able to get one from a parts dealer?

Disconnect the 'E' unit wires from the motor. Apply power to the loco, and check for DC voltage at the wires. Cycle the transformer on and off a few times to see if the unit cycles. If there is no voltage, make sure there is AC voltage at the board input, usually the heavy red and black wires.

The parts list for the locomotive is here, and the board, #13 on the list, is 610-0107-100, available from The Train Tender.

Can DC voltage be applied directly to the motor from a separate power source to see if it spins up ?

If yes, how much ?

Thanks

Yes you can apply DC to the motor leads, try 12 v
