phoenix sound help
Posted by Anonymous on Wednesday, December 28, 2005 6:02 PM
ok so for my b-day i got a usa GP30 and a phoenix sound system
so anyway
after running it for a while like i stop it
and after like 30 seconds it does the shut down sound when i still have power to the tracks and the lights on the loco on!
so then i turn the power off then flip it to forward and back on and no sound
it did it to me before and i took it apart and looked at everything then put it on the track......works fine! then i let it sit for a bit will i move some cars and it shuts down and no more sound
i need to know wut to do
o and my dad and i installed the system on our own

I have Phoenix in my Aristo RS3, and the key is, the battery MUST be charged in order to work properly.

By the way, what roadname did you get? I myself would prefer any of the Eastern roads, with the PRR my first, and second either B&O or C&O

I have the LGB F7 A and B units with sound, Southern Pacific. I love them. It is funny because I model eastern roads, and I have SP on my roster. I saw a B&O GP38-2 today for $207, how much did you get yours for?

That is a nice engine, especially the paint. I love the look of my engines.
