I installed through the black module on my Legacy Cab 2 the upgrade 1.5 today.  The install went well.  I ran my Polar Ice legacy engine around and decided to do a record, and playback.  The record went well, but when I went to play back the record, the engine did not respond and irradically went into reverse causing  a mild derail, of which my lockon kicked the power off.  Now when power is applied to locomotive it causes a short, and no matter what status I switch to locomotive to (program or run) it goes in reverse and trips the (lockon --- breaker).  I switched it to conventional mode and will only go in reverse.  Is there some way to reset, or do I have a major issue here?  Can't figure out what caused this to happen.  I can't get it to sit on the tracks long enough for my Legacy to power up.  Its a new legacy engine (Christmas).  Do I need to visit Canfield?

I visited Canfield.  As usual the boys did a great job on repairing the Polar Ice Diesel.  I was surprised to hear that two electronics boards were faulty (thank goodness it was under warranty) They replaced the RCMC board, and a light board.  Thanks again DN.  I was on my way in a couple of hours, after a through check on their track.
