Hello,
I found this locomotive new in box. It appears to be from a 2013 release.
Does anyone know of any issues these had from that year? The trains I have are from 2017 and later.
Thank you for any info you can provide.

Does anyone have a Genset Switcher from the early PS 3.0 days?
Sorry Brad .......I only have the Premier ps2 model ( the CSX model cab # 1305 that was shown on " ERICS TRAINS " video ) that I installed a BCR instead of the battery. Got it on the action site with 40 hours run time.
Only issue I had was the engineer side shade broke off............don't ask 
........ that I reafixed.
I operate it on a layout with two loops , two Z1000 bricks , a Rev L / TIU ( on fixed 1 and fixed 2 channels ) with remote and some 031 curves . Also some running conventional with a Z1000 and Zcontroller . NO PROBLEMS.
I don't have one of those (always regretted that). I do have other diesels of that vintage and have had no board problems.
I have several PS3 engines in four and six axle, plus two steam. On occasion, one that's new out of the box will "squeal". If that happens, cut the power and let it sit with the power on for a few minutes. I don't know why they do it, but that has only happened for me with a couple of brand new engines.
Other than that, all of mine have been fine. My Genset is a PS2.
What is yours doing?
Thank you all for the responses. I do not have this locomotive. I found one I may purchase but wanted to know if there were any known issues with them before I decide to buy it. It's brand new in box for $350.
I was thinking that was a good price for a new premier model.

That being a new in box Premier ps3 ........that is a good price. 
Great price. You'll like it.
