As promised, I'm updating all on the FEF engine fix. I had the great pleasure of meeting David Minarik Jr. of Mercer Junction Shoppe. He was the guy who, (did indeed), update the engine to a PS2-3v, in the first place. He diagnosed the problem over a phone call. It was a crimped wire in the speaker. I probably did it when checking things out? No big deal. He fixed it and added a BCR2, as suggested by Berry. The engine runs great. David ran the engine for over 20 minutes on the store's fantastic layout, to make sure that all was working. He ran the engine using a DCS remote. I'm now convinced that I'm going this route.
David and all the staff at the train store are terrific. I don't normally plug like this, and I'm not sure if this is the proper venue to do this, (forgive me if this is a faux pas on this site?), being new to all this. But I feel that these guys and the store at Mercer Junction are well worth checking out.
Thank you everyone for educating me and for all of the support with my FEF engine issue. As stated earlier, I hope that I can be of some support to all of you, in the future. Lou
