I just purchased a MTH 20-3029-1 SP GS4 Daylight from a forum member. The engine had a PS2 conversion done 6 years ago with a BCR installed. He had only run the engine under DCS, and everything worked fine fpr him. I do not have DCS, so I am running conventionally. I set the engine on the track and turned the throttle to 16 volts for 1 minute. The engine made no sounds/smoke but the lights worked. After one minute I turned the power off and on. The engine ran forward. I hit the direction button and was able to cycle the engine through direction changes. The engine runs and lights up fine but there are no sounds or smoke. I checked under the engine and tender but there are no on/off switches present for smoke or sound control. Does the engine need to be reset? Is this something I can do at home or do I have to take it to the local hobby shop that has DCS? Is there anything I can check? Thanks for any help. Like I said the engine runs fine and lights up but there is no smoke or sounds.
