I recently installed a Digitrax decoder in a Proto 2000 E6, (the correct decoder according to the manufacture's list) and the locomotive has developed all sorts of strange behavior -- running away unexpectedly, stopping for no apparent reason. Once, when I hit the light button, it stopped dead in its tracks. I tried reprogramming the decoder, and is said "CV not recognized." (I have an NCE PowerCab that works fine on all my other locomotives. I removed the body shell, the the bare chassis of the E6 ran fine. Question: Is is possible that the motor or electronics of the locomotive is causing interference that 's causing the locomotive's bi-polar behavior? Thanks much in advance...
