Went to run trains at my club (San Diego 3-Railers) and these events occured:
1. My Santa Fe Railking Ten Wheeler 30-1589-1 was backing up and suddenly the tether started flaming up. Looked under no significant damage but is smells, possibly the board in the tender is dead. Question is my engine toast? Also, has this happened to any of your Proto 3.0 steamers?
2. My two SD-70ACe 30-4194-1 and 30-4214-1 decide to say to me " I hate you" and did not want to load into the DCS Remote after they were on logged earlier. They ran under conventional transformer perfectly. However my Proto 3.0 Galloping Goose ran perfect. I am gonna take the two SD-70ACe to my other club and try them there. I tried recovering my loco and reading the track numerous times and nothing happened. I bet it is the TIU reception
My question is for those who belongs to a club that is kinda permanent: I believe that our TIUs have a really weak signal at my club because we are in the basement of the San Diego Model Railroad Museum and we have atenas in the ceiling but I really think they don't work some times. What do you guys do to improve the reception?
If my SD-70ACe decide to not load at the other club's layout, I might have to cancel my preorder of my 2 Railking ES44AC because the repairs needed to my three locos.
