Hi All;

A few months ago I purchased a "new in box" On30 Heisler via eBay with factory DCC+Sound installed to run on my Xmas layout. After a quirky startup it seemed to be running fine, though it did tend to pop and snap from time to time. Hmmm.

Anyway after sitting since the holidays I fired it up and was perplexed to find that it refused to run. When power is turned on all sound function work just fine but the motor shows no signs of life. Nothing is obviously wrong. I'm running a standard NCE powercab controller. I tried a factory reset CV8=8 and the light flashed 16 times when restarted indicating the factory soundtraxx decoder did acknowledge the reset, but still no go -- all sound functions work but she's dead on the rails.

Any suggestions would be appreciated, otherwise it's off to the locomotive hospital since I have zero electrical diagnostic skills.

Thanks!

Does anyone know if all of the ON30 Shays all came with motherboards with the 6-pin connector? i.e. DCC ready?

Thanks!
