Gues what else. Every single time I run the MTH, THERE IS AN ISSUE. I’ve tried all the fixes suggested here. Come on how many gizmos and gadgets are needed to make the system work. Don’t know yet because it STILL doesn’t work.
I’m guessing the next suggestion to be like “ stand on your head in the corner while balancing three beers. One on each ear and one on your nose, then turn the TIU off three times before accessing your remote with the AIU off and the WIU turned on/off three successive times while you watch the CBS evening news.
Both systems are bulletproof when standing alone. I believe issues of these nature to be expected when trying to run two DIFFERENT manufactures systems on the same layout at the same time.
If you feel it's not worth your hobby time to fiddle with these techniques to try and make it work, I believe it to be best practice to stick with one manufacture. I understand life is stressful enough with work, family, etc. and having to deal with these issues are definitely a nuisance to some but others seem to be ok with giving it a shot.
Both systems have pros and cons, its tough to choose one path but doing so may help you get back to enjoying trains vs handstands and beer balancing on extremely unstable body parts, which is a waste of beer BTW! LOL
Thanks for a few laughs my friend!
