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
