I have a MTH Proto sound 3 Southern Pacific Daylight GS-4 item 20-3750-1
It runs perfect with all functionality 90%- 95% of the time,
occasionally it will stop communicating with the DCS, and continue whatever it was doing when communication was lost,...for example it will keep running at constant speed or sounding horn until I cut power.
When I try to address this locomotive, I get "engine not found"
The issue clears when I cycle power, and Locomotive become fully functional again
It appears to happen randomly but other times when I use the horn or bell.
What could cause a Protosound 3 steam engine to suddenly loose communication and become unresponsive?
Could this be a tether issue?
I did a quick inspection on locomotive side and found nothing
I also found it strange this large locomotive has only two center pick up rollers,.. wondering if this smaller electrical footprint could play a role in the communication error?
