It will work because your symptoms match the known fault condition.
You have a Loco-sound engine. This is semi related to PS2 and uses some of the same wiring and tachometer sensor. Loco-sound, PS2, and PS3 engines- especially steam use the tachometer system (optical sensor, flywheel with stripes) to determine both speed and distance- which is how it times the chuff sound and matching puffing smoke.
When you removed the failing tape- the system no longer knows how fast or how far the motor and known gearing of the wheels has turned to chuff and puff. So again at idle (not moving) the smoke fan is on, however when you begin moving it stops waiting for the tachometer distance and number of stripes to chuff and puff the fan. Again, you disabled that when removing the striped tape from the flywheel.

Vern Thanks works like new! thumb I know I had one but I misplaced thanks again. Mark
