Reply to "PS3 with strange startup"

kbttOGR Forum Member

Want to thank all for the replies. I have a work around that allows my Chapelon Pacific to start normally and lets me use Aux power. I put my Z4K and the Aux power transformer on the same power strip. With that strip off, I turn on the Z4K power switch leaving the handle at 0V. Then I turn on the power strip and after two seconds, move the Z4K handle to 18V (quickly). Works every time. Chapelon catches the WD.

Before I had the Aux power transformer on first. Then I'd power and apply voltage with the Z4K and the loco missed the signal every time.

All my other PS2 and PS3 locos work fine either way.

So, for me, this is all about timing. I know Barry suggested I return it, but I love the loco and I'm not totally sure the underlying issue isn't my TIU timing. I'll think about it a while longer.

Thanks again!

Bob
