I have checked the wires once more, tried to reset the engine one more time and tried to run it in a lash up, and there is still no result, It's strange because the PS2 board look very solid too me.

I already tried to reset the engine, no result! But I will try it again! Thanks for all the tips! I don't feel like sending the engine back to the US but if I can not solve the problem I will take contact with you Raymond on e-mail. To see if I can send it to you! Trygve

Ok I will have an extra check on everything, thanks! Trygve

Now i have tried to check the wires and the optical reader, can not find anything wrong except a small cut in one of the wires, but it seems like its only in the rubber and not into the copper! The front coupler does not work either! The coupler problem and the speed problem occurred at the same time? Should I try to change the wires to the optical reader? It quite difficult and since it doesn't look like the copper inside is damaged I don't know? Don't have any service center for MTH here in Norway, so I am not sure what to do? Trygve

Thaks for the tip, i will try to fix it this evening! Trygve

Thank you! I will try to check the wires and the optical reader, just love these MTH locomotives, I also have a VO-1000 who runs very well, I can only compare it with my one gauge Marklin V-100/212 who cost 3 times more! Hope I can fix the problem with my F7. Trygve

Hello! I am New to this forum, so i start With a small problem I have with my MTH F7 loco. I run it with DCS, and now I got a problem with the speed, I put the control on 1 mph, then it starts to run after one second, slow and then increase the speed up to top level without me using the control. Also the sound of the motor are the same all the time, as it was standing still! Anyone who knows what the problem are? Best regards Trygve Olsen Norway.
