Hi guys,
Yesterday I picked up an MTH Railking Imperial diesel, the NS SD70ACE 911 at a show. The guy said it had very little run time just to test everything. I got it home, and took it out of the box. The cellophane wrap, warranty card, and literature was not in the box. That's not a big deal. I just printed the operating guide off of the website.
Anyway I run everything conventional, with a Z-1000. I did the bell/horn combination to access the PFA and only got 2 quick horn blasts. I pressed the direction button to engage the PFA and got nothing. Pressing it again cause the engine to reverse and It would normally. I was able to access the sounds but it took some coaxing.
Also when stopping the engine using the direction button it stops on a dime, but causes a buff type derailment and when starting out forward and the same voltage the thing wants to take off almost stringlining the train I'm sure my O31 curves have something to do with this. this is my first PS3 engine is everything I described normal?
Or Did I get burned on this deal? Please let me know. Thanks
