Reply to "Need Help with PS2 Roller Modification"

Scott,

Make sure it is not a ground issue. You can test this by holding a jumper wire on your outside rails in the offending areas on your layout. If you are using switches that are not wired like the Ross-Ready, this might be your problem.

If you do determine this it IS the issue, You can remove the bottom plate of the tuck (4 screws and pickup roller) and swap the two wheel sets. This will change your ground spacing. It is pretty easy to do.

I understand why MTH developed the 2/3 truck/system but I am not a fan. Especially in steam engines. It can cause issues on some layouts and non-derailing features if everything is not 100%

BTW I have also seen 2 switch failures bringing us up to 6 worldwide I usually hard wire my personal engines to 3 rail DCS.

I hope this helps and wish you the best of luck.

Dave
