Bachmanm Spectrum 4-8-2 Repair??

[Anonymous]

Long Story Short,

My 4-8-2 went and dropped off the layout and busted the Tender.

I Bought a replacement Tender, a Long Tender as a replacement.
I put it together today and while I get the Head Lamp and the Firebox lamp to come
on, I have no Locomotion in the wheels.

So....How do I begin taking this beast apart to see what is wrong?

What I DID FIND:

The USRA LONG Tender has a different card in the Tender than the Short Version. It does Say DCC Ready on the Box the new Tender came in. What is really strange is the Front light get's it's power through the Board in the Tender and the Firebox light get it's power off the main dive wheels.

So, I swapped the boards out and that is all that was wrong with the Unit. I have some adjusting to do with the wheel sets, but it's running like a champ again.

2 Months ago when it Dropped, I thought she was going to be a lost cause!
