Intermittent missed chuff on a MTH 30-1784-1 New York Central 4-6-4 Imperial Empire State Express Steam Engine w/Proto-Sound 3.0

On November 6 of this year I purchase an Imperial Empire State Express Steam Engine from my sort LHS (Indiana Pa, where I have some property).

The chuff is intermittently dropped regardless of the chuff rate setting or if it is labored chuff or not and regardless of locomotive speed. It go chuff, chuff, chuff, no chuff, chuff, chuff, no chuff no chuff, no chuff, chuff. The pattern is random and occurs regardless of the track or transformer. In conventional mode and in command mode. With 2 different Z4000s and 2 different TIUs. It has not improved or degraded in its 1st 60 minutes of operation.

I have reset the engine to factory setting twice and a feature reset twice.

I live in Columbus Oh area. Before I call the LHS and arrange an RMA, I figured I would poll this august group.
