Ok,
Here is where I am at. I have the Lionel Amtrak Acela Concept set. My lead engine is number 2000 and the rear engine is 2002. After doing an engine reset, I believe I have the Pantographs somewhat working. Maybe this is how it should be. There are two pantographs on on each engine. On the lead engine, the rear pantograph responds to the cab2 commands (to raise and lower) and when I run in forward or reverse ( when the engine engages to go forward, the rear pantograph goes up, the other one on the lead engine does nothing) As a matter of fact, that forward pantograph does not respond to anything it is stuck in the lowered position.
Now on the rear engine the forward pantograph is stuck in the raised position and does not do anything, the rear pantograph responds to command by cab2 to raise or lower and when the train is going in forward or reverse. So are both pantographs on each train supposed to work equally? (Responding to commands to raise or lower or when the train runs in forward or reverse? Or is just the rear pantograph supposed to respond? Let me know your thoughts and experiences with your set. As always, thanks for your help!
