Atlas Gold SD26
Posted by jtsgarage on Wednesday, October 22, 2008 6:26 PM

Hi everyone,

 Just a quick question for all.  My Atlas Gold SD26 has stopped moving.  It performs all the sound and the lights work, but it won't move.  My other locos work find, so I believe it has noththing to do with the the system.  I believe that if I reset the loco to the factory defaults all will be OK.  I appreciate any input if any one has some information.

 Thanks all,

Jeff's Garage

 Sounds like you are in disconnect - the motor revs and everythign works but the loco won;t move. Try hitting F6 twice to take it out of disconnect. F9 twice puts it in disconnect, assuming you haven't changed any of the functions around.

Randy,

 Thanks for the tip.  You were right on.  I remember seeing a listing of these types of commands, but now I don't remember where.  Any suggestions.  It's tough getting old.

 Thanks,  Jeff

 There should be fairly detailed information included with the loco - there was with the Trainmaster. Yiu can get even more than you ever wanted to know about the QSI decoder at their web site http://www.qsindustries.com/.
