the issues Tom is having are the same problems I’ve had when building a custom locomotive, and trying to hide the antenna when there’s no isolated handrails to work with. I don’t know the arrangement on the A-5, but perhaps Tom has a problem with one or more of the wires,….I’ve had to play around with antenna placement on several engines to get the best signal……as he stated, I’ve seen the exact same thing, ie; cruise control I can’t control, responds to some commands, but not others, loss of directional controls, missing a bunch of speed steps, the works…..ultimately, again, it don’t matter what remote it comes out of, the engine doesn’t respond to the remote, it responds to the command base, …..the command base tells the engine “ do this function “
