There are some things of which you should be aware:
- The battery in a PS2 engine does not maintain the engine's speed when power is momentarily interrupted, rather, it keeps it making sounds and keeps it in DCS mode.
Not to derail getting advice on my issue, but I just re-read the above quoted piece and I'm confused. According to the MTH DVD from a few years back that intros its products and DCS, there is a scene where they have an MTH train on a track and a non-MTH train on a parallel track. Along each track there are sections of rail covered with tape, meant to purposely cause a loss of power and signal. The narrator indicates (and the accompanying footage demonstrates) how the MTH PS2 locomotive, with its battery back-up, will keep going - at the same speed - despite the intermittent loss of power. The other train, as expected, craps out. So, is the purpose of the battery misstated in the MTH DVD or ...?
Thanks
