I have 2 problems with a lionel diesel #6-34732 which i have just bought, first i have 14 lionel fast track switches on 4 independent loops, whenever this engine goes over one particuler switch the sounds go out, & at times the engine just shuts down all together and does not respond at all, it happens with just this one switch, none of the others & only at slow speed,if i increase the speed there is no problem at all. Second problem is i have this engine assigned to a mu consist with 1 other engine,if i take this engine off the loop where it was hooked up to the other engine in the consist,& put it on another loop & power up that loop,it starts right up without me even pressing the engine id, & won't even respond to any commands & acts very weird, if i de-program it out of the consist & put it on another loop it works just fine. This is my first experience with a mu consist so i don't know if this normal for the engine to respond. Just one more thing,i understand about putting a battery so you don't lose sounds when going over switches,but it wouldn't cut the power alltogether,also none of my other engines act this way & when i take the other engine in this consist off of the loop & put it on another loop and power it up i don't have any problems with it. I'm sorry for the long explanation, but i hope i have explained it ok. I wecome all comments,i hope someone can explain these things for me. Thanks for your help.
