Lionel Steam Engine Won't Run in Command Mode

[JRICCIO]

To all:

It's running fine.  After sitting for a few days, I pressed the circuit boards to ensure contact.  It didn't work last week, but I tried again today and it ran.

Thanks for all the help.

Pennsy,

Still the same issue.  I did the reset using 34 (per website) and 43 per the manual.  

Thanks for your help.

If the reset does not work try changing it from TMCC mode to CAB1 in the remote. I had a steam engine that would do about the same thing. Mine would run in the TMCC mode if you spin the red knob many times and then begin to move. So I tried the cab1 mode on it ran ok with the remote. You loose some of the functions in that mode. Just what I have run into myself.

Sounds like the perfect solution.  Exactly what I would do.

I have a Lionel 6-28015 4-6-2 Steam w/ command control.  

The train will not run in command but will in traditional mode.

The whistle, horn & light work in command.  When I try to move the train in command in will occasionally move forward a few inches with boost.  Any suggestions?  Thanks.
