Good news I sent Bachmann my engine and they are getting it fixed for me....Thank You B-Man!!

its a little dissapointing though...i was so happy to own my first bachmann loco and now its fried.

I really think that there was something wrong with it, it is possible for something new to have malfunctions. Its happened to me before with different things.

thanx bob for your help ill study my options and go from there.

ok how can i get it repaired?

it wont run i tried everything.....i notice that when i put it on the track theres a spark coming from when the wheels meet the rails but it wont move....im guessing i need an ez command unit. what do you suggest?

so basically i damaged the loco? how bad is it? and is it repairable? what should i do next?

ok guys here it goes....im new to this hobby ive always been into trains but never got around to getting me a set until now. Well my problem is that first i bought a life like santa fe train kit that comes with like 5 cars, tracks ect ect.....so i went ahead and bought a dcc bachmann santa fe loco and when i tried to run it on the life like tracks it would be very slow so i had to move the power to max to get it to run fast. But then the most horrible smell starting to come out of the loco like if it was burning and now it wont run at all. Did i fry the engine? can anyone help me out here? thanks.
