Reply to "Why is a PS2 GP-38 trying to eat my TIU?"

Thanks GGG and others!

Just a couple notes. I have 12 or 13 running PS3 engines and 1 PS2 engine that all work fine. I do not have a remote. I did disconnect a lot of track, and I've been down the one-engine-at -a-time routine, which is how I managed to isolate the single PS2 engine being the subject of this thread. Here's a play-by-play, dealing only with this one engine:

  • track, TUI, WIU are un-powered
  • Power TIU. WIU
  • set subject on un-powered track
  • power track
  • open iPad APP
  • Search new DCS engine (It was on my iPad until I deleted it)
  • at this juncture, the arrow above the horn  blinks continually (see photo of iPad)
  • the pink "TUI" light on the WIU blinks once per second. I does not stop.
  • error messages on the APP abound. I've seen them all! They don't stop either
  • NOTHING runs
  • remove engine
  • power down the entire room
  • go away

I go away for 10 minutes and when I re-boot without that engine, everything is back to normal and running fine. This includes my several MU lash-ups. They all work fine.

The sequence in the bullets has been repeated now countless time with the same result. I have yet to look inside the engine, but failing to see anything obvious, I will have to bring to someone.

For what it's worth, the clock on the engine (back when it  did run) in fact, had low hours. The subject engine run conventionally with no issues. Also, to my knowledge, no other engine has ever made the pink TIU light blink  continually or the APP arrow blink.

Thanks again,

Bob
