I purchased a used williams cab forward 4-8-8-2 and I cannot get it to run at all. Does anyone know where I can get it repaired or at least get a schematic for it. It came with no info. Would it still be under warrenty? Any help would be great. I am in NC if that helps any. Thanks

I have one as well and it didn't run when I got it. I replaced the reversing unit/sound in the tender with a TMCC board from Train America Studios. The installation isn't hard. If you have a three rail version the boards are a bit different than three rail but the real problem is in the board. The motor is probably fine, I removed the boiler from mine and tested the motor.
The battery system is the major problem as they get drained and can damage the system.
Go to the ogr forum and contact Marty of Ma&Pa Junction. He can get you in contact with a former Williams company repairman. HTH
