BRAND NEW BACHMANN GP35 DCC DECDODER ISSUES

[lionelflyerdave]

  I just got the 2 Bachmann GP35 Frisco DCC diesels I purchased today brand new, was running them analog to see how they ran out of the box, they ran about 20 minutes, very smooth and quiet as I have come to expect from these. But when i stopped them to add a couple more cars, and went to take off again, 1 was spinning and the other just sitting with its lights on.

I put it on the track by itself, the lights function properly, brighter in the direction of travel, and they change with direction, but still NO motor movement. Why would 1 just stop when it was running fine? I assume the decoder is bad as i cant think of any other possible reason. These are supposed to be able to operate on analog DC or DCC, so that should not have been a problem. Not very pleased. Would appreciate any assistance from others with similar issues? Thanks!
