Now that you mention it, I've heard of that before. Apparently some transformers need a minimum load to behave well with respect to momentary Horn and Bell DC-voltages injected onto the primary AC-voltage.
RWL posted:...BTW, you mentioned that this setting is remembered between sessions, so that the Speed Control does not default back to "ON" each time the engine is shut down.
However, the printed instructions do say that Speed Control will turn back to "ON" each time there is a full shutdown of the locomotive.
Is the printed documentation incorrect on this detail?
I'd go with the printed documentation for the PS3. Of course you can try it too! It just seems that this topic came up a while back (10+ years ago with original PS2 engines).
I know that the direction-lock toggle feature is retained between operating sessions so perhaps I'm confusing that. Sorry for any mis-direction.
