Question: How do you get the pantographs up?Judd Barton
Got mine around 4 o'clock, Front driver does have a TT for some reason. Won't move more than a few mm on a piece of clean unitrak. Noticed that there is a philips head screw on each idler truck which may be what is intended for spring adjustment but it does not seem to have any effect on tension of the spring no matter the tightness. Both trucks are wired left and right with axle point pickups that are then wired to a screw attached to the split frame in front of each end's respective drivers.At a loss on how pickup can be fixed with this without modification to the design. No keep alive means what little the thing gets can't be conserved, one of the drivers firmly mounted on the rails with the weight on it isn't picking up power due to the TT. Unless BLI has some sort of hacky fix I'll be returning mine within the week.
Conversely, the Mikado performance is outstanding. As excellent as the P5a is poor.
This is all so incredibly disappointing.
The keep alives seem to be improved, but comparing the Paragon 4 (top) to the Paragon 3 (bottom), the tan cubes I think are the capacitors look to be the same size.
