New Kato Mikado 3rd run engine

I removed the decoder and set everything up for DC, and the locomotive works great - even in both directions!

Locomotive runs great now without the decoder, by no means did you damage it in any way.  I started my L-1 conversion kit on it this afternoon.  Were you able to get that Tech IV power pack?

I suspect that the decoder is ok too. It was simply "confused" by the pulsing DC from the power pack.

It would be nice to verify that, since we all want to know how this could happen.
