It came dcc ready. Which it was really not! I had to do what Backmann failed to do in the first place!

I had nothing but problems with my George engine from day1. It would not run on dcc, even after being sent back to Bachmann 3 times. They even replaced the engine and still had the same problem. Well I fixed what they could not. I remove the factory wire and board and built on myself and added sound to the engine. I can now run the George on my layout.
I wish to thank everyone for the suggestions and advice. I just wish Bachmann would have solved the problem in the first place

Why should I have to modife the board when it comes with a ddc plug. to me it means bachmann did not do the job right in the first place

I have not modified the control board at all.
I am sure the decoder is plugged in correctly.
The engine works fine in dc mode.

I guess nobody else as any thoughts about it

It is dcc ready. It just sits and nothing happens when I plug in the decoder.
I can program the decoder in another engine but when I put it in the George nothing happens.
I have tried Digatraxx, Lenz and MRC decoders, all have the same end result.
As far as the control system, I have both Digatraxx and MRC, Both have the same result. The engine works fine in analog, just does not like DCC.
If I try to program the decoder in the George, It does not read it.

I have the George Washington set. I can not get it to work in dcc.
i have sent it back to the company 3 times and I always have the same thing when I get it back. They even replaced the engine 1 time. Could anyone help me figure out what is wrong with it or what I have to do to get it to work in dcc.
