When I was "filling" the coal load, the membrane stopped rising ( had risen about half way up) and the loading sound effects continued until had turn off the power to the track. I have reset the engine several times, and each time I initiate a "fill" cycle, the membrane does not move and the sound effects will not stop until I kill track power. I have turned off the coal load feature, and am enjoying the otherwise trouble free performance from the engine. At some point I suppose I will have to return the tender to Lionel. Has anyone else experienced such a failure?
