my 6-11436 Union Pacific VISION LEGACY Scale 4-8-8-4 Big Boy #4005 was running along with sounds on and then chuffing sounds went silent on both engine and tender then tried to restart a few times and then only a steam effect sound from tender only.
also powering BB off the tender still has a steam sound emitting from it but no bell whistle or any running sounds at all.
and when engine is cycled off using legacy cab-2 the steam chest sounds are still playing! only time tender is quiet is when main layout power is turned off.
using cab-2 cannot turn tender lights on or off using the BB tender.
I used the tender from my S-3 and the engine sounds on engine came alive so I did a R reset and engine responded as it should with all sounds working.
so is it possible the tenders IR sensor is bad? anything else I should look for?
this mimics my S-3 6-11229 Milwaukee Road LEGACY 4-8-4 S-3 Northern #261 when its IR sensor stopped working on the engine side, so this is just the reverse issue.
unbelievable all is working again!! I was not able to get tender to respond so I first did a ID# reset all went as planned using BB tender. turned power off set prg/run switch to run waited 20 seconds and turned main layout power on then turned cab-2 on still could not use cab-2 to turn tender lights on/off!
so I pushed the info key on cab-2 and as each feature came up in bold I pushed the appropriate button to reselect it did that for all and now all is working as it should again!!
so am I having an issue with BB or the Cab-2.
I also tried using the cab-1 remote the engine powered up but no lights or sound but it would move forward/backwards. I have a SER-2 connected is only thing new but been hooked up for 2-3 months now and all has been fine until today.
can any of the online techs explain what might be going on here?/
thanks for any help on this issue/non issue!
