Odd K-Line R2LC

Well, the triac is the smoke triac, so I'd be looking for a short or issue with the smoke unit before applying power again.

I have on or 2 if you need them from PS-2 conversions of tank engines.  I think it was just a mod to get it to fit in the engine.  G

Good to know G, I appreciate the offer. Replaced the triac and  repaired the smoke unit and all is good. My friend will be happy as I was expecting to have get a Cruise M and fabricate one of my 10 buck chuff and puff boards.

Next question, do you know if there are keystrokes to calibrate for four chuffs? I did input the gear ratio and wheel diameter but that did not help. Its putting out about 3 chuffs and was hoping there is a procedure similar to TAS EOB which allows you to fine tune the chuff rate. 

Edit, I found the instructions for setting chuff rate. 

DIR, Brake, AUX1, # where # is simply number of chuffs. 

I fine tuned the the chuffs per rev using the gear ratio setting

DIR, BOOST, AUX1, 260

actual gear ratio is 25:1 or 250. 260 gave a chuff closer to driver rotation.

I've got one of these odd R2LCs in my parts but haven't had a repair that used such a beast come in to try it yet to see if it works....
