HO / 4-4-0 stalling

My Spectrum 4-4-0 recently started stalling and running hesitantly through turnouts. Any ideas why? I use Atlas manual turnouts.

HO / dcc on board

When a bachman 0-6-0t has dcc on board, does this mean it already has a decoder,  or just the hookup to install one?

HO / SEPTA PCC

I have a few older septa pcc cars. The boxes are all marked 41-629-C1. Some have a motor man in the front window,  and some don't. Is one of these more rare than the other?

I currently have a GP30, and if I understand correctly, I can easily swap out an RS3 body with no issues?

Is the Bachman GP 30 chassis/trucks interchangeable with any other bachman body styles?

What is the best way to convert a Bachmann dc doodlebug to dcc, preferably with sound?

Thank you, Len. Now I just have to track one down.

HO / DCC Cable
January 15, 2016, 07:53:23 PM
I have an MRC Prodigy express. The plastic clips on the ends have broken off, so the cables no longer stay in place.  Would a standard Cat5 cable work for this?

Thank you to everyone for your help. We're up and running like a champ. I found a loose plug, which is why I was getting sound, but no movement or headlight.

Thank you for the information,  Joe. I will try this tomorrow. I will let you know how it goes. Now for a little sarcasm. I'm glad the manufacturers are keeping things simple so newcomers to dcc don't get discouraged.

I recalled the address,  and then held down the delete button per the instructions in my booklet. Now I reassigned the add again and the sound works, but I still have no headlight, and the loco won't move.

Prodigy express is what I have.  I deleted the loco address and put it on the program track. Then I called up the factory default address which is 3 and put 08 in cv08. I then put on the running track and all I get is some random sound and if I throttle up, the loco starts to chuff, but doesn't move. The other sound and light functions don't work neither.
