Motor function not working, all sounds OK
GMM6809:
I had this exact problem with one of my engines.
The problem was that a motor shorted. Out of nowhere.
But I replaced the motor and it was all good to go.

I had an older Stewart/Kato motor die on me shortly after installing an LM3 and doing a successful current test. It was suggested that the insulation on the windings had deteriorated. For $10 I got a new motor from Bowser and all was right with the world.

A consist of three locos was not moving as I thought it should. After unMUing the locos, one would not move but all of the lights and sounds work including the prime mover every 15%.

have you had a chance to check the motor in the failed loco?

I haven’t had a chance to try more yet. When I do I will post more.

In my case, the motor would run if attached to a 9-volt battery. It appears that my short is buried somwhere inside the loco.
