This ABA set had zinc rot while in storage for 3 years. MTH replaced the 3 chassis for me at no charge, and today I put it back together. The problem is that it only starts up in conventional mode, and only runs in forward direction. No neutral, no reverse, just forward when power is applied. Light and sounds work, didn't test smoke. Using a Z-1000 transformer.
My DCS system is new and working well with 2 other PS2 locos that I tested last night.
Here is a shot of reassembled engine. I was very careful and only unhooked wires where needed. I have all 3 units assembled and tethered.
First picture highlights the motor plug, which I unhooked to do the transformer reset. Still forward only after reset. Did it twice.
Second picture is what I believe is the battery charging port, the replacement chassis doesn't have a place for this (must be for PS3 version). The battery is new and fully charged.
If you have experienced this please let me know what fixed it for you.
Thanks Alan
