MTH Railking F3 ABA "Upgrade"

Ron045OGR Forum Member SUPPORTING MEMBERDIGITAL SUBSCRIBER

I have a Railking F3 ABA set. Sometimes when we make it a heavy long train it struggles to get up our hill. If I use another MTH Diesel as a lash up, err I mean MU, then train will take the hill without a problem.

So I'm thinking... What if I bought an MTH F3 "A" unit either in rugged rails or railking and just swapped the shells with the Dummy "A" unit from the original ABA set? Then lashed... darn I mean, put them together as a MU?

Does that sound reasonable or am I using too much logic?

Thanks for your thoughts.

Sure. I am assuming this is a single powered A unit with dummy B an trail A. You can easily add an other Lead A and create a MU.

MTH also makes powered Trail units that are slaved to the lead, but that requires tethers between units and a slave board in the Trail Powered A. Than the Trail A mimics commands from the Lead A. G

GGG & Ron,

G. I still have the last upgrade slave unit which you sent to me for my ABA. never opened. I am happy to sell back if you ever need it. I am tearing down to get ready for a move.
