I have the new MTH CP 6644 (20-21499-1) and am having some issues.  First off, the smoke control 'knob' doesn't do anything.  I generally run without smoke so I just turn it all the way off, but the smoke unit does not go off.  Wasn't really something I was worried about as I could just open it up and disconnect the smoke unit and be done.  But now sometimes while running the sound gets all garbled or cuts out.  I don't know a lot about these, so I don't know if they are related or not (Like a board is going out or not.), or if there is a simple fix I can do or do I have to send it back to MTH for repair.  Can I even send it back to MTH at this point to get fixed?  My LHS that did MTH repairs is long gone sadly.

I'm running DCC, but I set the volume and smoke knobs while in conventional mode first before I run it in DCC. On the other four PS-3 locomotives I have it worked just as expected. Even in conventional the smoke knob does nothing on this locomotive. And I don't have DCS so no ability to reload anything. And the sound cutting out seems to only be the bell and horn. I believe the prime mover does keep playing. But I need to try with it being the only locomotive on the layout to be sure.
