Sorry,
Bachmann/Spectrum F7 A/B units
Its the B unit that won't move.
I'm not sure what type of decoder, but I want to say its a digitrax one
You didn't mention the manufacturer. The following are the resets for the various decoders as I know them. If its a Digitrax decoder setting CV8 to 8 will reset the decoder. A Lenz, CV8 to 33. NCE CV30 to 2. LokSound CV8 to 8. TCS CV8 to 8 or CV30 to 2. Soundtraxx DSDLC, DSX CV30 to 2. Tsunami CV8 to 8. MRC CV125 to 1. In all cases the address will return to 03.
Some of the MRC decoders require a different reset. I can't find my old sheet right now.
Hope this helps.
Remember its your railroad

Bachmann uses Lenz decoders in there "DCC Onboard" locos. I have reset them in the past unfornunately I do not recall the CV to reset or the value needed.
Someone else here I'm sure knows the values.
