HO Baldwin 2-8-0 Consolidation LCO (DCC) - Standard DC Operation

Not the tender with your locomotive but Click Here to see correct placement.

Notice correct placement is by DCC socket hole number.  Connect 8 -1-2  and 4-5-6

If it works then the decoder is ok and it is the way you are installing the jumpers that is not working.
