Unfortunately, I replaced the battery and it still is the same. Thanks.
Sounds like the board in the tender has seen better days.
Only thing to try is a fresh battery if you have not yet done this.
Thank for the reply.
I should not say I run it fast. I should say that I run it faster than really slow. I have two loops of track and put a slow freight on one and a faster passenger train on the other. With battery operations I can run the slow freight at what I think is about 10 MPH scale speed. I then run the passenger train about 15-20 MPH scale speed. It is certain not fast enough to make a single hissing noise. The cuff should be easily heard. If I use the Mogul for the freight train I am OK. It I use it for the passenger train it is likely to stop making any noise or just blow steam straight and not chuff.
When a steam locomotive is running too fast, the chuffs will turn into what we perceive to be a continuous hiss -- the problem is not with the model but that you're running it too fast.
As far as it shutting completely off, I don't know why it would do that. I have seen replacement sound systems crop up periodically on e-Bay, so you might search there for a replacement.
However, if other people have had similar experiences with the sound system, it is probably not something that a replacement would solve.
I have one of those engines, but do not use the LGB sound system -- I converted mine to battery power using the AirWire900 and Phoenix sound system.
I have an old (23 years) LGB Mogul with sound, but the sound only works at slow speeds now. If I go too fast, it either shuts off completely or goes into a constant steam hissing sound. It will not chuff. Does anyone know how to fix this problem, or will I have to replace it?
I know from eBay postings I am not the only one having this problem.
