K Line Operating Questions - New SD75M
Posted by chuckles on Wednesday, February 21, 2007 8:52 PM

Hi there,  last week I received my new K Line SD75M (Sante Fe).  WOW,  is it sharp.

I ran it on my modular railroad club layout this weekend and the whistle and bell were

terriffic,  for five minutes.  After that, no sound from either.  The engine sounds are still

going great.  Any help on this ?   Also,  if I remember correctly I ordered two locos.

Did anyone receive the second one ?

Thanks,  Chuck

The sounds in TMCC will require you to reset the programming to factory defaults.

The second locomotive might have been ordered too late to be processed by K-Line before they stopped operating. It depends on whether you used a check or credit card when you ordered.

Did you download the Instruction Manual "Update" about the Battery?

From feedback that readers sent in, no matter how many you ordered, you get one.

Remember, the money you and I sent in was turned over to the creditors in China. Lionel is shipping out of there own pocket just for the good will.

On the "other forum" @@@ there were a few people who got more than one road name but it was like a father son thing where each had a membership???

I can understand some of the fuss about this loco as it is wonderfully detailed and all  but lionel would be stupid not to rerun these down the line if you did not get one I would wait to see if lionel adds them to the line up at some point.

Thanks for the feed back.  I do have the new operating sheet that was e mailed.

Well, getting one is better than none.  I will try again on getting the whistle going.
