Well I was able to get the board out after realizing that there were two more screws at the back behind the board. I had to take the cab off of the engine to find those.
After resoldering almost all of the connectors on the board I gave up using the switch and just wired the chuff sensor directly to the connector pins. This bypassed the switch completely which I believe was faulty. That circut board is the cheapest looking board I've ever seen. It appears to be made out of cardboard![Roll Eyes ::)](https://www.bachmanntrains.com/home-usa/board/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif)
All of the connections were junk. The foil "circuits" were mostly all lifting off of the cardboard like backing.
After putting it all back together I now have a functioning train.
I really like the look of the train but I did expect it to be a little better made. I hate having to fix brand new things before they work.
I sincerely appreciate the advice to help me resolve this problem.
Thanks again!
Garrick.
