Engine runs forward and in reverse with all lights on no matter the direction.  Newer PCB.  However, no horn, whistle or trainsounds.  I did a poor job of keeping notes when replacing old PCB sometime ago and really never did much to try and do things properly - only the minimum to get it running and help out the grandchildren.  Would now like to do things properly.  Can anyone help with a wiring diagram or some photos with the shell off of this or a similar engine.  Thank you all in advance

@Ireland,

I found this generic diagram, in the Lionel Supplement 45 Parts List and Pictorial Diagrams:

Supplement45Complete_ocr_p77 [2022-01-07 18-03-00)

It covers both diesels with Conventional Control / TrainSounds, and those upgraded to TMCC / RailSounds, on one diagram so it's a little busy, and you'll have to ignore the TMCC / RailSounds circuit boards if your unit doesn't have TMCC or RailSounds.

Also, make sure that your unit has the same motherboard as pictured before proceeding.

Remember also that the wire colors may not match your unit, so everything will have to be traced wire by wire.

Hopefully it will help -- good luck!

Mike

I really don't think that is the schematic for you.  Your Alaska was a very entry level locomotive.  The parts breakdown is on the link below.  You only have 2 boards inside.  One for direction control and one for sound.  That's it.  The train set was not advertised with "directional" lighting.  I'm thinking there is none and the lights come on with the track power.  You might be chasing a ghost.  You should have sound though as long as the switch is in the correct position.
