G'day all, I hope somene can give insight on this one.. I like BLI and own two and never had any trouble.. On Sunday April 21...a good friend bought his first sound loco , also a BLI with Paragon 2 sound brand new and invited me to check it out. I took along to his terrific CN coal layout with a double main line and spur my latest edition , an Intermountain ES44Ac..also..
Paul (friend) started his new SD40-2 up , perfect sound , ran magnificent as expected and he began running it in...After about maybe half an hour it came out of his tunnel and without either of us touching the controller the horn started blowing..couldn't de activate it immediately ...then sound stopped completely... once we got it going again thinking maybe dirty track it ran fine again with sound..We went to shut it down on function 9 but no go..wouldn't work , neither would start up...except on alternative F6..as per booklet..Other sound issues intermittantly...It's brand new, never used....anyone got any ideas/solutions ? My loco ran perfectly by the way same track..so doubt if track issue... Cheers Rod
