Barry and John:

I'm 100 miles from home and hours away.  On another chat board, the claim was made that the DCS Chrono (running time and miles) for a DCS engine begins to count IF a DCS is parked--not activated--on powered track.  TRUE OR FALSE?

I just can't believe it's true, because if multiple engines are seated around a turntable and NOT operated that often, they would have hundreds of hours of running time.  I'm hoping to hear/learn that this is FALSE.

John, a friend dropped off an MTH locomotive of his with 1.1 miles. And over 200 hours...

OH MY GOSH!  Wow.  I mean double WOW.  I had no idea.

John,

It is a RailKing Scale GP9, runs fantastic and simply smokes like you wouldn't believe!  Doesn't have a scratch on it so I checked mileage/time for the heck of it while shutting down and then restarted the DCS system to verify after I realized what I had seen. Have no idea where it sat powered up all that time at his place We also have a early MTH GS steamer bought used which came with a lot of hours that is an outstanding runner/smoker as well. It is so old the harness is soldered directly to the board.
