Here's a quick video of the newest version of Menards engine.
The throttle is better but coasting is to easy. The horn was locked on. I had to play with the remote button to get it to shut off. You can blast it as long as you want. Still not sure I like the horn sound. The bell is to fast for my liking. The unit I received failed for diesel sound, even after moving the bottom switch back and forth.

Been offline for a few days I've been feeling ill lately. I had a heart cath done yesterday. Everything looked good with the 4 stints. Very little cleaning done. Put me on additional meds which so far I do not like. Off work the rest of the week.
Update on the Menards engine. Laz, I emailed them as soon as I posted the video.
They sent me a FedEx label to return the engine. They are sending it to their engineers. Menards will be sending me a new engine in 2 to 3 weeks. It will be beta 3.5 version.

Thanks Adam!
Feeling better today. I just wish my heart doc would have found something. I know that sounds bad but that would answer why I'm having chest pains. His guess is the blockage on the left he can't do anything about. Well unless he does open heart sugery. Andra thinks it is mostly stress induced.
I think a little weight loss couldn't hurt. 😆
Menards engine is off with FedEx. I'll update this thread once I receive the beta 3.5 version.

RJ, I hope you feel better soon. Less stress and a little weight loss couldn’t hurt.
It sounds like Menards is trying do right by you and to get their first engine right before going into production. When they offer this engine in New York Central livery I will be ordering one.

Also my Wishes that you get better. Last week I went through my "shock" treatment and now my heart is beating even again. Just have to take it easy and work myself up in strength again. I know the feeling.
