Won a Southern USRA 0-6-0 with PS2 from an auction site recently. It runs fine, but after approx. 1 minute of run time, the chuffing sounds drop out, and a clanging sound is heard. When I stop the train, and it sits in neutral, it appears the normal sounds heard in neutral do not drop out. This occurs in forward and reverse, and changing the rotary speed setting has the effect of “resetting” the chuff, until it drops out again, and the clanging starts again. Fishing for ideas here. Using a Z-1000 trannie.
