Since I returned to "O" gauge almost three years ago, I have tried a few Railing locomotives.  Both new and used.  In each case I wound up selling them.  My main interest is post-war.  I found the Railking locos too complicated to fiddle with.  I want to place a locomotive on the track and turn up the throttle.  The set-up or programing was too time consuming.    

I have an MTH PS2 railking engine I have been running conventionally without any problems or had to program anything. It just occasionally needs to sit in neutral to charge up.

Charge up???

Come to think of it, I think it has PS3 electronics. It is my understanding that these locomotives are now being made with a capacitor on the inside which allows the sound and lights to slowly fade out when the power is turned off. I am still new to MTHs product line so I apologize for not getting my terminology 100% straight. Maybe someone more knowledgeable can chime in?

If it charges up it's P3. And they run really well conventionally. I love them.
