Thanks for suggestions, Roger and Rich.  But before my first posting, I originally had reset decoder CV8 to 8 before the reboot to address default 03.  It did not correct issue.

I originally tried powering off and restarting using address 03.  It runs fine backwards and all decoder functions operate.  It just will not run forward.  It acts like a siderod bind, but cannot see it binding in forward or reverse. 

New out-of-box Spectrum #83902 HO 4-8-4 N&W Class J loco with Tsunami sound will not operate in forward direction.  Operates in reverse direction and all Tsunami functions operate correctly.  Any suggestions to fix?
