I just unpacked my new B-man 3 truck Shay. I lubed it up according to the DVD instructions. Put it on the test stand it ran fine. Came back in about an hour and tried it again on the stand and all it will do is light the flickering fire box light and the dome light flashes - no head light. Any body got a guess on this one? Tried it on the track also. No joy.
Thanks, Ted

Looked it over and can only find 2 switches. They are located on the front of the boiler. One is for smoke and the other is a selector for NMRA STD. or Large Scale. Selecting NMRA Standard or Large Scale makes no difference. I think I will have to box this back up and send it back to B-man. I wonder how long it will be before I see it again?
Thanks for the input.

I'll start checking the wiring.
Greg, Yes the cab light blinks as soon as there is power to it. I don't think I over volted it but I have done stranger things. Is there some way to reset the quasinami?

Thanks, Ted

I checked the user guide on the CD and it lists fault codes. The problem is it says head & tail lights will blink X number of times to indicate the fault code. All I have is the cab light blinking and I can detect no pattern.
This one looks like a big maybe - so I am still checking for a lose or shorted wire.
Error 11 - Motor Connection Fault
This error indicates a faulty motor connection has been detected and
typically occurs when the motor lead is shorted to a track pickup wire.
The motor will not respond until the error is corrected.
Thanks, Ted
