Hi, all. I have a 2023 locomotive that has some problems.
I fixed a number of loose wires, but it now just runs
a few feet and then stops. I have to push the Direction
button on the ole KW transformer a couple times and it goes
a few more feet.
The E-unit lever stick down from the E-unit seems somewhat
loose. It has two positions with a detent (I think that's
the right word) keeping it in one position or the other.
But since the level seems loose, it sort of wants to hang
down in the middle. Is this usual? Any other suggestions
to getting it running consistently?
Also, the wire for the coupler is not connected at the other
end. But from the service manual, I can't figure out where it
goes to. It shows something that looks like a rectangle,
and whatever the symbol is, it isn't ground and it isn't the
contact rollers. Anyone with a 2023 that knows where it goes?
I'm assuming that isn't causing the problem above -- pretty
sure having it hanging out is not causing a short.
Thanks!
Brad
