Cool, I actually tried it last night. Thank you. I have not tried consisting them with locos besides themselves but I assume they should also work in the consist? Also it take a lot of run time and lube to break in any of your MTH units? Thank you leejax01.
How is it running? Does it jerk at steps 1-4? If so, then maybe it may be the tight tower gears... a return to MTH is the best fix to that. Lube the axles where the instructions say and run about atleast an hour or so on rollers if you have them for regular break in.
There are fixes for the gears, but no need to do that on a new loco. You have lighting issues, the MTH uses alot of plugs and may be a plug/tab not making contact for that feature or hopefully the light bar out of place.
Yeah it jerks 1-4 the most but it does it through all speed steps but it gets better the higher the speed....I think it may be gears or a bent axle because it also wobbles back and forth a bit ....I hope it isnt that. Lol. I put it back in its box and Im going to break it in this weekend if I get a mainline loop done. If its still being a pain I will send it back to MTH or contact them. Okay I will check that for the light issue. Thank you for your help. I really appreciate this!
Nice man! Glad you got the M-2's! My dad would have a cow if I bought 2 locos like that, especially at one time. One solution to your consist problems is to program both locos to the same address.
Thanks man! Yeah my dad was flippin out hes like you already got enough god damn locos!! haha hes right tho I need to stop getting locos aahaah. Im broke now anyways so nothing new for a while unless my family wins megabucks haha
O and these are different because of the gay mth dcs shit. I have to change cvs for the same adress and thats a pain. flymanjg posted a vid that im bout to check. There nice but would be nicer without the mth dcs shit.
greeatstuff man, i wish i could get 2 o those m-2s! lol i cant afford one! haha gotta love them SD60s man, im looking at some proto SD50s, hopefully ill be able to get them, great job again man, lucky.....lol 5.5
Lol dude ive been saving up for these forever lol!!!!!! Hha now im broke lol! Nothin new for a while lol!!! Thanks dude yeah go with protos they are fantastic. If you get one let me know ill tell you a good decoder for them. Protos are usually cheap on ebay for some reason so check there. Thanks man! Hhaha yeah im lucky! Haha

To consist on NCE, you can:
1. When you press the consist, hit #1 for old instead of enter for advanced
2. Assign the consist number(good for the lead loco)
3.Hit add and then add the next(rear if I remember correctly) with direction then enter to the next loco.
4. Follow that until you add all the ones needed. After your done, press enter.
Should work as that is how we did it this weekend at a layout that runs NCE( who's defaut is advanced.
