I have a railking MTA subway. The speed control does not work. When you try to run it , it goes super fast. I did a factory reset but it did not help. I have it apart and there are no apparent loose wires. What else can I check for.

Spacing between tack reader & timing tape should be about the thickness of a dime.
Feature reset.. Menu/advanced/ rest engine/ feature reset.
dirty timing tape??
You didn't say if this engine has done this since day one or it used to operate OK. Regardless, typical culprits are:
- If one thumbwheel click causes a runaway, the tach reader may be too distant (or too close?) to the flywheel
- If speed is just too fast proportionately, as in it's a percentage too fast at all speeds, a damaged tach tape or porous painted stripes on the flywheel is often the problem. The solution is to replace the tape or usea tape to cover the painted stripes
- Again, if speed is just too fast proportionately, it could be an error in the engine's sound file.
This and a whole lot more is all in MTH’s “The DCS O Gauge Companion 2nd Edition", available for purchase as an eBook or a printed book at MTH's web store!
Thank you, The track reader was touching the timing tape. Seperated it about the thickness of a dime and it works fine. Thanks
What is the product number?
