Hello, basic question here.  I am trying to get a  1999 MTH TM (#20-800001D)  running after it was given to me w/o box or instructions.  I put a BCR in it & upon power up (for several minutes) it seems like it's stuck in neutral.  So before I wander aimlessly with this engine, can I use the Protosound instructions that came with my late 90's Weaver SD40 to diagnose this MTH Trainmaster ?  I think the phrase "all the bells & whistles" emanated from this model, all I get are bells, clanks, whooshes & ca-chunks.  My dear brother, who is a conventional-only runner, & who gave me the engine, said it last ran 4 years ago.  Thks in advance !   Rich in PA.

Yes, the Weaver  and MTH PS1 instructions are the same, at least for what you want to do. Early boards for both products were made by QSI, so the instructions are the same.  The clanks and clunks you are getting tell me you are in Reset, not Neutral. Shut the power off, wait 1 minute, then power back on. Do NOT EXCEED 10volts!!! Doing so will put you into reset again.  Let the sounds come up, then power down, wait a second or so, then power back up. You should be in forward and see motion. Bless of luck!
