I just received an older MTH F3 set. ABA - 20-2218-1 PRR. Circa 2000.
They appear to be in excellent condition - but I have no knowledge of their runtime/history. But I've read enough threads about batteries and resets that I figured I'd ask if there was an accepted routine when firing up these older engines? I'm thinking more about electrical safegaurds.
I believe these are Proto 1 engines - but pre DCS. I guess they are considered conventional?
The only modern transformer I have is a CW-80 - is that suitable for running/testing these?
Thanks for any direction here!
