Hi everyone,
I have a Bachmann Challenger starter train set, which uses a DC controller that comes with the kit and the E-Z Track for the train to run on. The train that came with the set works fine and runs as it should. However, I bought a used Bachmann Southern Pacific Daylight GS4 4449, which says that it is DCC-equipped, and it does not work on the track that I got with the Challenger kit. The light at the front of the train lights up, but the wheels do not move at all, no matter how much power I dial into the track with the controller.
Is the problem because I need a DCC controller in order to use the Daylight on my track? Is it that the decoder inside the Daylight has gone awry?
Thanks!
Craig
