It would help a great deal if you specified the exact model of MTH train you have, there are a number of folks that probably can help you.

FWIW, Dean was with Lionel, and you're talking about an MTH part, different end of the horse.

Given that this is a 3V board, there are repair possibilities, and it's also possible it's something about wiring/tethers and not the actual board. Hard to say without knowing more details about the failure.

 

[Fiolek]

Can not be repaired. Copper burt out. I need completely new board..

 

[gunrunnerjohn]

Which board, that's a two board set.

Which board, that's a two board set.

The top one. The one in the picture. You can see the damage when u magnify it. Close to the RC stamp.

 

[Fiolek]

The Q12 transistor badly burnt and damaged even the board itself . But all that is not working in loco is the lights in loco (2 globes) .

 

[gunrunnerjohn]

Q12 is the headlight FET, so I suspect that the headlight wiring has a short to frame ground or the leads were shorted together. If the wiring is fixed, it's quite possible the FET can be replaced for a lot less than a new board set.
