JMRI and Intermountain incompatibility?
Posted: Sat Mar 28, 2020 3:52 pm
I'm using some of my holiday (Yes, I know I timed it badly) to add locos to my JMRI roster.
The first handful went on without any problems - a Broadway Blueline AC6000, a Tower 55 ES44AC, Athearn Blue Box GP40 and a Balboa Mk5 2-8-2 - but JMRI reported a short circuit when trying to interrogate an Intermountain U18B with factory-fitted QSI decoder. The loco runs perfectly well on both Calder Northern's Westen Mills layout and my own Signa-Trak controlled test track.
Has anyone else experienced this problem, either with Intermountain or any other QSI-fitted locos, or am I simply jinxed?
