I don't have a problem with BCRs in PS1 locos as long as the operator understands that they must be charged up prior to pressing the direction button, otherwise you run into the same problems as operating a PS1 loco with a dead battery. The processor shuts down prematurely before code is written to memory and the board is scrambled; i.e., the three clanks of death (which can be corrected with a reset chip).
