Apologize in advance for the long post.
Installed new base3 today. Did the app and firmware upgrades successfully.
Upgrading from a functional Base1 system. Which is completely disconnected and powered off.
Placed my only Lionel engine Legacy E8AA Sleigh Bell Limited on the track turned on power after being sure the base and app were fully up and the engine went into conventional mode.
Moved everything to test track with same result.
Inspected the base3 further and noticed the common nut is loose inside the base.
Safe to assume my issue is a faulty unit with a poor common connection?
thank you
Tom
