I have been working on a PS-1 to PS-3 upgrade of a 1997 MTH Rail King Allegheny for the last four days or so.
I completed the upgrade yesterday and did a test in conventional mode-all went well.
I found what appear to be the correct sound and chain files on the MTH website-I installed those files this morning. The loading process stalled a couple of times for both the sound and chain files but, using "Retry" they ultimately completed.
The locomotive runs well and sounds GREAT, but I have two issues...
1) The headlight does not come on, even when I try to turn it off and on with the DCS Handheld.
2) The backup light does not go off when the locomotive is going forward-it can be turned off with the Marker Light command on the DCS Handheld.
I checked the headlight again and it is wired correctly-the wiring is not broken or pinched.
I checked to make sure that the backup light is plugged into the correct connector in the tender (there is a cable/connector for the backup light and the rear marker lights and I thought that I might have confused them, but the backup light is in the correct connector.
All of the other features including smoke and the rear coupler are working correctly.
Should I be trying other chain files?
Thank you.
