Bachmann HO EMD SD40-2 Loco DCC

[Jimmy8t1]

Hi there fellow model train enthustist,
I have an bachmann HO EMD sd40-2 DCC. I have had it for about six months now and it has been running great for about 4 months and then was packed up for 6 weeks and I unpacked it put it on my track and nothing so switched over to DC and runs fine but switch back to DCC and nothing so then go into the programming and check out it and then ended up reprogramming and still nothing and then tonight tried it again and reprogrammed it and now the rear light comes on no matter what direction it's on but nothing else works        Thanks in advance for any help. Cheers Jim

have you tried a reset to factory default?

inside, does this locomotive have an 8 pin plug on the circuit board which the decoder plugs into? or is the circuit board the decoder?

[Jimmy8t1]

Hi,
   Yes I have tried factory reset and no luck, the circuit board is the decoder :-(  thanks for looking and offering ideas cheers Jim

[jward]

maybe you need to replace the decoder with something better.

I have a TCS X1 sitting in my organiser that I could try to fit in place of the old one
