Reply to "MTH 30-1220-1 RailKing 2-6-6-6 Steam Engine lighting is dim when smoke unit is operating during DCS operations (Issue solved)"

I agree that something is pulling down the voltage to the lights and it has something to do with the Smoke Unit.

To be clear, the LIN lights do “flicker” with the Smoke Unit but they are also very dim. The lights are also on when LIN is off and the Smoke Unit is on and the engine is moving. Weird if you ask me.

I’ve checked all the wiring I can. I’ve taken the engine and tender shells off and followed all the wiring I can. Sounds like I’ll be making a trip to the MTH service rep

Thanks for the info. If anyone knows any other ways to check this out, please let me know.

BTW there is a board in the engine that the lights are connected to. I could post a pic if it would help.

Regards,

LAD
