Forum reader for years, but first post.
I have a brand new Chapelon Pacific PS-3 ( as well as 1 other PS3 and 3 PS2 locomotives). The Chapelon is beautiful but ...
Using a rev L TIU, after I apply track power, (in about 5 sec) the engine sounds, smoke, and lights startup without command. The engine will not move under command. However, if I hit the Shutdown button it will do a normal shutdown. Then hitting the Startup button starts it normally and it will run normally. (Well, actually, at slow speeds (3-5 smph)its balkier than any of my other locos.)
A factory reset does not help. Using a short test track with strong signal that all the other locos work fine on.
So this is not a big problem since a quick shutdown followed by startup fixes it, but it is weird.
Do you think this is something I should just ignore?
Thanks,
Bob
