I now have three BLI T1s. Yes i love those engines but I am loosing faith in BLI in a real hurry. All of their M1s run great and I couldn't ask for more. The centipedes run like crap but when they run good they are great but most of the time a siding queens. Both sets have made four trips back to BLI for repair, etc...
Back to the T1s. Other then having a mind of their own at times, for instance, I power up the layout and the three t1s come alive without any call up. They want to take off running. Or if one is running good with out stalling I've found when you try to slow down or speed up it won't respond. I'll have to shut down the layout to kill the power. Just the T1s no other engines , just BLI. Upon contact with BLI do get good service but they defend their product to the hilt and they have to know they have issues but would never admit to it.
My point is, I am ready to put in a different decoder in one of these T1s to see if it runs any better. There also is pick up issues with them. They all stall at the same locations around the layout where none of my other engines do, for that fact none of my other engines stall except the centipedes and T1s.
Any ideas if I should install a different decoder and yes that will most likely void any warranty. After spending a boat load of doe on BLI T1s I am at my limit with them. They do make beautiful looking engines but their performance is questionable at the least.
