Hello all,
My MTH 4-8-2 M1a (30-1597-1) has suddenly starting acting quirky. In neutral, there are chuffs at a somewhat uneven rate. The engine is able to move forward and sometimes in reverse, but often will lock up after coming to a stop. The smoke unit appears to be unconnected the chuffs when in idle. I can still change direction from a sound and lights standpoint, but the engine won't move. This happens even after a few laps around the layout. The cycle seems to interrupt itself.
I've tried both types of resets as well as swapped out the tender drawbar. No results...
Could the board have gone bad? Visually, nothing seems wrong. It's been running fine for the three years I've had it.
I've attached a video (Excuse the clutter on workbench... I'm somehow able to make sense of it)
