I'm using a Bachmann Dynamis. I don't have a pragramming track, but I haven't had any programming issues before. The adress is set on just "3". I know I have the right adress beause the sound functions work. The problem is simply that the locomotive won't go. I've swapped the motor leads and have done a factory reset.

Unless you changed the address, the default is 03.

 

 
Not always -- some DCC systems such as NCE do NOT use leading zeros, so the address should be entered as a single digit -- '3'
 
Knowing which DCC system the OP is using is very important to know, in this case.

What problem(s) are you having? Unless you changed the address, the default is 03. What DCC system are you using? More info please.  Joe
