I've had one interesting one with a Bachmann Class 37 (British diesel loco) - fitted a Lenz decoder (my very first installation), programmed it and all was well until I did the following things on a section of the layout: turned lights off turned lights back on (they didn't come on) discovered that loco was now happily trundling along with no control whatsoever - was moving (so obviously there was track power) but I couldn't stop it without hitting the emergency button. It's only happened a few times and not recently, I have no idea what caused it. I removed all the capacitors around the motor when I fitted the decoder as I'd read that they could cause this sort of problem, and none of my other locos (all using Lenz decoders) have this problem. The loco runs superbly everywhere else on the layout - just seems to have a mind of it's own here!
