Hello! This is my first post to this forum.
I have two MTH GG-1 PS 3.0 locomotives (product numbers 20-5642-1 and 20-5644-1E from the set). Everything works perfectly except for one feature: neither one of them will allow the pantographs to operate in manual mode. I reset the engines. I upgraded the DCS system software (TIU and remote) from version 4.20 to 5.0. No luck. The engines remain in automatic mode for raising and lowering the pantographs regardless of what the remote indicates.
I have a feeling this is a feature that was written up in the documentation and included in the remote menu--but not implemented on the engines themselves. Can anyone give me a clue? Is there a firmware upgrade for the engines I need? Am I just outta luck?
Thanks.
