Hello. For Christmas, I received a Lionel 6-38050 NPR Scale Berkshire, (it has great detail BTW.) This is my first engine with Lionel's wireless tether. I had run it many times before Christmas, but, when I first got it, the sounds were cutting out when moving. But the next time I ran it, there were no problems. I give myself a pat on the back. Then a few days ago, the chuffs started to cut out COMPLETELY AT RANDOM! I do not believe it is a cherry switch because both chuffs activated. I then determined it wasn't just the chuff, it was every sound (whistle, bell, ect!) I tried a factory reset, but that did not change things. Fast forward to today, I run the engine a few times around in conventional mode, IT RAN FINE, NO PROBLEMS! I then plugged in my TMCC base, address the locomotive, and commence running it. The sounds worked fine when moving, but I got NOTHING while in "neutral." Actually, I did get "something," that something was the electrocoupler would fire when I turned the knob to make the engine move. I.E. Engine is sitting still, I turn the speed knob (the big red one) to make the engine move, electrocoupler fires, engine moves normally. This leads me to a two questions,
1. Could this be a result of a misaligned wireless or defective wireless tether?
2. If it can't be any of the above, what else could it be?
Any suggestions are much appreciated,
Nickstrains.
