Troubleshooting Speed Controller | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

DROGR Forum Member

Good morning. I recently got my circa 1958 250 Locomotive and 205 diesel out of the basement after coming across a box of tracks and a 1803000 hobby transformer with speed controller. I got both engines working after some TLC. After several days, the speed controller stopped working in mid use. I inspected the track and found no shorts. I took the controller apart and saw a circuit board with nothing I could evaluate. It shows a constant green light. Any ideas? I forgot to mention, the box also included a 8632 locomotive and tender. It doesn't work either...By the way, your forum is fantastic and my love for Lionel trains has been renewed!

Perhaps a picture of the internal circuit board will help us help you. What are the symptoms, full power to the track all the time, or no power?
