Reply to "PS3 Steam Engine now sent to MTH"

I was having an issue with my PS 3.0 SD70 (headlight and ditch lights stopped working), and tried to run it on my conventional loop.  Placed the loco on the loop, cranked up the transformer and nothing.  No lights, sounds, nothing.  

 

Upon re-reading the manual, in order to run in conventional, you must turn on the transformer and let the loco sit in order to charge the capacitors.  Once charged, all lights and sound returned and I was able to run the locomotive with no problems.  I was then able to do a feature reset using my Z-1000 controller, and everything works perfectly again (both using the DCS remote commander, and conventional).

 

I too contacted MTH and was awaiting a response as I thought I got a faulty locomotive.  It might be worth a shot trying the steps above if you haven't done so already.
