I just purchased a new Big Boy and there is a small electronic board packaged in the kit. What's it for?
You might try the web site of the company that made the locomotive. Also, it is highly recommended to RTFM.

hahaha
sounds like a New Rivarossi engine(not the hornby one)
do you have a picture of it
if it came dcc equipped it could be the dummy plug...does it have 6 little pins on one side if so its for running dc if you remove the decoder you will need to put that little plug in its place
