RailKing proto3 Trainmaster

HotboxHotboxOGR Forum Member

I just got the new RailKing proto3 Lackawanna TM and ran it for the first time today. Everything DCSwise appears to be the same as with proto2 except possibly the battery status under the "Advanced" menu. Since it has no battery, you always get a "low battery' reading.

 

I guess you no longer get a regular locomotive specific manual. The only thing included was a generic Quick Start Manual but there is a reference to "the complete manual" available at the MTH website. Has anybody ever found such a manual?  Here is the product page and as you can see the manual and nearly all other links are grayed out.

BTW, the locomotive looks great, runs just fine, and is a real bargain in today's market.

Ken,

 

Everything you described is spot on.  I saw this on a Premier GP35 PS3 loco I purchased several months back.  Very disappointed in NOT receiving a loco specific manual.  The older PS2 locos actually had the manual with a shot of the model on the front.  I always like to hold and read a nice manual describing the operation of the engine, which I spent a pretty penny.  Railking offerings BTW are real nice.  Congrats.
