BLI E-6's have hit the shelves...

Suddenly I have problems with three BLI n-scale "engines."
The E7A is not working properly, no horn sound, very sluggish.

I just received an E6B powered unit that worked briefly, but now the horn does not work;
biggest issue is that it runs okay in reverse, but very jerky in forward.  Even in reverse, the engine runs slow at maximum speed setting.

I found that the unpowered B unit that came with one of the three E6A or E7A units is causing a short when I place it on the layout with another working unit.
I have tried to do the reset function in program on track, but that has not resolved the issues with any of the powered units.

I am using an new NCE digital system.

I think a call to BLI is in order. Even at BLW and MB Klein prices I have a few hundred US dollars invested in the E-7A and E-6B powered units.  This repair work should be under warranty.

Roger,
 BLI will take care of you, its just the hassle of having to send them in and wait. One of my CBQ E9's worked fine at home but when I took it to an N trak event, it went around the layout for a test lap, I stopped them to build the train behind them and the trailing unit decided to just set there. they took care of it but it was just aggravating that I had to do it in the first place.
