PS2 BCR

patternpilotOGR Forum Member SUPPORTING MEMBERDIGITAL SUBSCRIBER

I have a new old stock MTH 30-1159-1 PS2 locomotive. When I bought it, it was advertised as new old stock and the seller which is a well known vendor installed what they said was a BCR. I finally decided to place it on the track and give it a try. It only starts up in conventional mode, smokes and runs fine in conventional but I am unable to get the TIU to recognize it. When power is applied to the track the locomotive starts immediately and when the power is shut off it also shuts off immediately, no shutdown sequence. The BCR that was installed is only a 35 volt 1000 UF capacitor. I can only think this is not sufficient to supply power. I have included some photos that may help identify what I have. The owners manual references the 8.4 volt battery as a replacement.
