Thanks all, I was out of town the past week or so. I am back home working on my DCC issues. I will let you know what I come up with.

Thanks for all of the input!

Thanks for the info. I bought the loco used, it came with the box but not with any instructions. I tried to find some info on the WEB but was not very successful. I will open it up and check it out. Now that I am reading the box closer I think your right, the sound is DCC but not the motor.... dang---reading is fundamental!! I guess I need to actually read the box and what is there and now what I WANT to be there.... like I said a new model railroader.

If you don't mind one more question, does the DCC decoder for the engine go into the loco or does it reside in the tender? The tender houses the speaker and there is already an 8 pin plug going from it to the loco??

Thanks for the help!!

Okay, I am new here so please be kind if I am asking a really dumb question....

To start off I have other Bachmann DCC locos that work fine on my setup...
I recently purchase a BLI DCC equiped loco and it won't run on my DCC setup, it is signaling a short (the lights on the controller are blinking fast)... I changed out my DCC controller and put in an older DC controller and the loco works fine.

Any thoughts or comments would be greatly appreciated.
