Unfortunately, I missed out on this one, but it seems that it still doesn't have conventional operation which is a huge bummer.
When I'm asking for conventional operation, I'm asking for the following:
- Speed varies with AC voltage
- Power break cycles direction F-N-R-N
- DC offsets activate whistle/horn and bell
Optionally:
- Patterned DC offsets activate crew talk
Simply bypassing the electronics and going through a rectifier for forward only operation misses the mark of what is expected from a manufacturers production run.
