MR. MUFFIN AKA STEVE NELSON DOES GOOD AGAIN

Hello and Thank you Dave Nichols.

Steve always stands behind the products he sells. I have one of the affected RS-3s that I bought from him, and will try to solve the issue myself. But if I screw it up (possible, given my lack of technical prowess), I'll likely send it back to him to get it done right.

Mr. Muffin does a good thing for the hobby again . . . .  today he sent an email to make everyone aware of the MTH news that came out yesterday about turning the smoke off on the RS-3's. Again Mr. Muffin goes above and beyond to quickly make us aware of something that needs addressed with our trains. Service and communications after the sell.

That's him!  He's a straight shooter.

The process really isn't that hard to accomplish.  Hopefully MTH or one of the dealers will make a video specific to correcting this problem.  I think that would go a long way to getting the correct code flashed to these engines instead of shipping them back.

I've actually seen more than a few dealers send this out.  Along with the MTH newsletter is good that they are trying to spread the word.

I bought one of the LS&I RS-3s and a video would be great. Have turned the smoke off for now and wait to see if something gets posted.
