Oh baby...I've been stalking this one for a long, long time. I guess patience is a virtue. This brand new (NOS) MTH Premier Conrail C40-8 with standard/narrow cab. Threw me a curve at first when I couldn't get it to do anything at all as though it was d.o.a. Turns out this model is equipped for 2 or 3 rail operation and for some reason the 3/2 switch was set to 2-rail from the factory. A flip of the switch and it came to life. I replaced the battery with a BCR-2, greased the gears and added a drop of smoke fluid and we're in business.
