Hello, I have 2 Proto 2000 Series GP38-2 Locomotives (wich says they are DCC ready) and I installed the TCS DP5X decoder in them, I put them on the track and select locomotive 03 and turned the power to the track on there was a short burst of light from the headlights then they went out. The locomotive still moves and the number lights and cab lights work but the forward and reverse lights don't work at all (I think they burnt out.) Plus when in reverse I get the engine moving then move the controll to zero and put it in neutral but the engine keeps creaping backwards and will continue untill I move the switch to forward and give it a bit of throttle and put it back to zero then it will stop. I have never experienced anything like this before. I have 2 AC4400's that work perfectly. So for the two questions, I have LED's that I want to install but don't know how to do it (what wires do what) and what could cause the locomotive to creap when the throttle is at zero and only in reverse, and what can I do to fix it? There is no model railroad club in or around my area and there is no dealer in or near my area to help me.
Sorry for all the questions, I am really new at this and the learning curve for me is really steep.
Thanks in advance.
Corey.
