Update:

So, after some grinding and some hole drilling, I got the smoke unit installed. Whistle steam elbow made. The shell is all wired up. The lights work as they should. The smoke output is amazing.

I need help!

I ran into a problem of course. During my testing, I was running the loco. Then it stopped. I lost all command. I thought maybe my legacy base got disconnected. Nope. I hit the reset button for the engine, nothing, it just sat there. The headlight wasn’t flickering.

I cycled the power, got the loco to move again, ran about 2 inches then stopped. No control again. I swapped the RCMC out with another and I still have the same issue. I thought maybe my handrails were grounding out so I used my meter, nothing. It was running fine with the shell off. Makes me think its a radio signal issue due to a grounding problem. I dunno.

Usually I’m the one with the fix 😂
