In case the you went through the check list and you still are having a problem, I did have the same issue and it turned out to be a bad connector joint from the headlight wire harness to the mother board.
In addition to the reset check and clean the pick-ups and wheels. It may be possible to add another antenna in the engine. I've found it necessary to increase the antenna area on a couple of diesels.
Greetings. I'm wondering if these blinkies are regular or irregular? I think random flickering would indeed indicate poor reception, as folks have already posted above. However, a regular stobe light kind of blinking (1 second on, 1 second off), tells me the loco may have other issues. If this is the case and resetting the program code doesn't help, I'd suspect the R2LC board.
If none of your other TMCC loco's behave this way, check the antenna on the ofending loco. Blinking lights mean poor reception.
aboard.
Normally blinking headlights are the sign of a poor signal reception. Have you tried doing a "system reset" as oulined in the owners manual ?

I have a Lionel Baby Trainmaster locomotive with TMCC that is almost new. The problem is that when I run it, the headlight and cab light both blink almost like a stobe light. I run both Lionel and MTH and none of my other locos do this. I use DCS with a Lionel Trainmaster command base to run my locomotives. Any ideas, cures, or recommendations? Thanks!
