Sunset 3rd Rail 2-6-0 smoke issue

On my TMCC equipped locomotives there is a plus and minus sign on the legacy key pad when operating them. The plus turns smoke on and minus turns it off. I don't see this explained in the legacy manual. It might work for you also. It makes me scratch my head, but it works.

hope this helps you if not call Scott at 3rd rail he can help you with it he is a great person to talk to and can over phone give you some one on one help.

 

did you try aux1 and then the 8 key?

$oo Line,

 

Thanks and my apologies for not replying sooner.

 

I am told that Scott is in China so I guess I'll have to wait to speak with him.

Just to close this item off, I called Sunset/3rd rail tech support and they walked me through a solution.

I'm embarrassed to say that I had not seen the "TMCC- OFF-CONVENTIONAL" switch and it was in the "CONVENTIONAL" position.

I moved it to "TMCC" and problem solved!

Now all I have to do is figure out why the "4 chuff" selector produces 3 chuffs and a burp! while the "2 chuff" position works perfectly.

I had that burp and it was a mfg error on the 4 lobe cam the syncs the 4 chuff and it is not ground right to get a chuff.  I sent it back at 3 rails expense and they fixed it.  call 3rd rail.
