Hey folks,
Just got the DCC Ready Pendolino set today and it was running fine a short while ago. I switched the points to see if I could route the train into a siding, and when the train arrived in the siding, all power to the controller just died. The light on the controller isn't lighting up and the track isn't powering up. All track seems connected together fine and the plug is fine. Any ideas what's going on?
Thanks.
EDIT: Disregard above. Got power restored, however, there is one more issue.
The motor is incredibly loud. I mean, very, very loud. When going backwards, it struggles to move the train and has to be guided before it takes over itself. My other available models which are being run in are CR 123 and Evening Star, and neither of them have this (although 123 did derail her own tender, uncouple from the train, ran around and started pushing her train and shoved her derailed tender out the way. A great start, no?)
