I recently purhased one of these engines. Having some trouble. Has anyone else out there having trouble with these engines. Such as, sound turning off while train is running. Horn sounds on its own.

Describe your layout.

A few things can cause it besides a defective unit.

  1. A temporary short caused by the loco or rolling stock over a turnout

  2. Dirty track and/or wheels

  3. Not enough feeder wires combined with rail joiner issues.

Another thing you can do is open the shell and hit the reset button to put the loco back to factory default but the above might be your problem

Are you running it under DC or DCC?
