MTH EP5 troubleshooting and repair Proto-sound 1

I've been having an intermittent issue where it keeps resetting and won't move even though the battery is good. We did find a problem and it required some desoldering and soldering to fix.

Good troubleshooting. Proper de-soldering tools can make all the difference in such a repair.

Thank you. I agree on proper tools. Also the more you use those tools, the better the results.

$150.00, what a deal! I used to work in a dealership in San Francisco which sold juke boxes, arcade video games, pinballs, and vending machines. I then went on to work on centrifuges. I loved troubleshooting electronics as well a mechanical devices.

For sure! I wish I would have purchased 2 lol. Agreed - I get a real sense of accomplishment from fixing stuff.

You got quite a deal on that engine Jeremy.

Thanks! I count it as my best O gauge find because it is my favorite engine. I just love the sound package. "now arriving on track 1, the Big Pig"
