Reply to "F3 ABA went wild"

John, Alan, Chuck, G -

I suspected the encoder, but thought I would ask before I took the shells off. I didn't know that the units could be run independently. I'll try these suggestions next.

The track voltage varies between 19v and 17v most of the time. The second time I tried to run the ABA at the track with the 'other' TIU and Z4000, the track voltage was right at 18v. This engine, as well as the others, have been running fine with my present setup. I strongly suspect a fault with the ABA leading or trailing unit.

G: My wife bought me this engine set from Jimmy Sutter in June 2010, she gave it to me for Christmas that year, but I was not able to run it until I had some track down, around May or June 2011. I am pretty sure that it is out of warranty. I will certainly take up up on your nice offer if I can't fix the problem myself.

Thank you guys for your real help, and I will report back as soon as I find something out.
