I am using cvp dcc and system has been reliable. the issue is a 2 year old atlas sd-60 which was working fine last month. now , the lights go on but it does not move. the decoder came with the loco- lens or nce??
the other loco , which is bachmann runs fine on the same track- all electrical connections are intact and there are no buzzers ringing ( for a short ) since I am not decoder savy but would like to learn more- where do I begin ?? thanks for all of your help inthe past. phil in socal
The first thing to try is to reset the decoder it is either CV8=8 or CV30=2. Then try to move it on address 3. Do this on your program track.

I pray every day I break even, Cause I can really use the money!
I started with nothing and still have most of it left!
Sounds like the decoder lost the address that it was using. Do what Pete said and hopefully all will be well. If it works on address 3 after the reset you will have to program the proper locomotive number again.

thanks for the quick reply; will keep you posted- dr. b in socal
appreciate your input; will post when task is completed - dr.b in socal
well some pluses and minuses: the sd-60 with universal lenz nscale decoder reprogrammed with
cv-30/2. however, now the loco creeps when throttle is off. is this a function of dc interference and if so what is the cv setting to disable it. thanks, dr. b
