Thanks for all of your help!

Thanks, I thought so. I will be buying a new one very soon and maybe I can resale the old one on ebay to someone who is still using dc. I am building a large dcc layout for n scale (12X4X4) and I do want everything to work as it should. Most of my track is already laid so that is how I am finally able to test all of my locomotives. Thanks again.

It's inside of the shell so can I buy a dcc board to work on this locomotive or should I just buy a new one?

Ok I did as you have told me to do but it did not work so may be it doesn't have a decoder. I guess I got ripped off on ebay which hasn't happen very often. The board in my locomotive looks different from the board in the pic so can I get the board that should be in it from Bachmann and if so what item number should I ask for. I love my locomotive and do want to use it on my layout if possible. I do have other Bachmann locomotives that I do have to buy decoder for so hopefully most of them will use the same one but from the way that that board looks in the pic it will be very different from all of the rest.

I'm using a Prodigy Express and the board inside of the locomotive has only 4 numbers on it (8307) which popped up in my hand held the first time that I put it on the track. After that I have never seen the numbers again. It seams as if I was lie to when I bought the locomotive. As I said I am just now getting around to testing all of my locomotives because I am now building my layout. I also have a Big Boy and a Challenger a lot of other locomotives which were all very easy to program but this one is not working for me.

Well I was thinking that it has a decoder because the very first time that I put it on the track the number that is on the board pop up. When I tried to program it for my track the number disappeared and I have not been able to get it back. I pulled the cab off of the locomotive and that is when I saw the numbers on the board which had been showing on my controller.

I bought a DCC ready N scale Bachmann Centennial Locomotive on ebay about a year ago. I am just now building my new layout and I'm testing all of my locomotives, some of them for the first time. The Centennial Locomotive came with no instruction at all. It will only light up but will not move. Can someone please tell me how to set it back to default so that I can program it for my layout
