Lionel 0-8-0 HELP!
Posted by PBJTrains on Saturday, December 9, 2017 8:30 PM

I have a Lionel 0-8-0 made in 2008 and I am having major problems with it.  It runs like a bandit in reverse but nothing in forward. Smokes ok.  I opened it up and noticed the e unit gets extremely hot when powered. I cannot find a replacement online... anyone have any ideas?

What is the product number of your loco?

Don't know if this is the same style engine or not, but,

Had a similer problem with my 2009 Santa Fe USRA 0-8-0 #123

 Thought it was the e-unit. Got one from Jeff Kane Part number 0103-100     electronic E unit/DC motor            1   @    16.50

 But it was the motor that was bad so I ordered one of those later from him,

8661-100     DC motor w/flywheel & gear            1  @    13.50

jeff@ttender.com

Only Lionel number I could find was 6308663001

So you could also order from Lionel here.

...Smokes ok...

Try it with the smoke turned off.

 That pulls up as the same engine I have and the parts link I sent in the other post.

 Good, Luck!

That e-unit has been up-graded to another number as shown in the diagram.

(ALT: 6100103100)

Good luck and let us know how it goes.
