Legacy Loco Won't Move

  I believe some of these models had loose motors and problems with the driveshaft.
Check Norm Charboneau’s  You Tube channel. I think he did a video on the driveshaft issue.

Al,

    Make sure the brake slider is not on. If there is a solid blue line on your Cab2 remote you may of accidentally put it on. It happens all the time sometime sticks on so move it up and down a few times.

Thanks for the suggestions...none applied because I forgot the obvious first step in the diagnosis. PRESS THE RESET BUTTON ON THE CAB-2!!!

👍

I was about to try your solution to your problem when much to my shock (almost) and suprise I noticed the power chord to my Legacy Comand Set (6-14295) wallwart (620-4202-000)  was nearly seperated from the wallwart itself. It was on the floor but in a hidden area so noone could acidently kick it or trip over the wire.  So, thank GOD I discovered this issue after reading some comments on here and before the entire house burned down !!

Lionel shows them in stock.

$18.00 plus shipping.

It should be pretty easy to fix the cord on the old one as well.

Well thanks so much fellas, once again you've come through !!

Just wondering, am I looking in the wrong place? This is where I searched:

https://www.lionelstore.com/se...v%20powerTransformer

I saw 5 pages, went tthrough those 5 and found nothing, weird. $18., ya can't beat that.

@4 Sticks, you searched the commercial store.  What you needed was a “part” for the #990 Legacy Command Set.  You would search Lionel support for parts using the product number.

For the record, this was the site I searched:

https://www.lionelstore.com

Its the only place I was aware of for Lionel parts.

https://www.lionelsupport.com/

This is the parts site.

In the search box you can type in the part number and it come up.

Doug

OK, thank you.

I give up.

@4 Sticks:  Here’s a link to Lionel Support, then enter the product number for the legacy system, then you will see the transformer down the page.

OK, just to let you see that I'm not a lazy lout too sorry a**ed to bother looking, lol, here was my results from the same page:

and so on ....  I found evey transformer BUT this one that I need. Go figure :-)

I did find it, and again, thank you very much. It was the '6-14295' that did the trick. I didn't have that number.

Glad you found it. Actually when I checked for it I just typed in legacy base and it came up with 36 results. Interestingly the circuit boards show out of stock except the radio board. I wonder if it's just a case of them keeping them for in house repairs?

Apparntly we are experiencing are going to start experiencing all kinds of shortages and price hikes, Not that there is such a great demand for model railroading pieces but  probelms with the manufatcuring/supplies of various medals etc. I don't know exactly whats inside of these things but it could be related to this from what I just heard.
