Hello,
I put away my train layout about 2 years ago, do to moving and other events. I was only able to get a small double loop up and working under my Christmas tree this year. I was able to get 2 new Bachmann red box engines running with out a problem. I'm using a Digitrax DB-150 w/ a DT400R paddle.
But I put on my Athearn Genesis with sound and lights setup it wont work. It started out being a Zombie engine that just wanted to go around the track at a slow speed and was not controllable. After resetting the CV's to factory defaults it stopped. But will not move at all. I've tried using CV8 ->8, CV30->2, CV125->1.
Nothing has worked. The engine ran fine and was speed matched to my other 3 SD45-2's. All ran well together and didnt give me a problem.
Any idea's would be helpfull. Other than replace it or sending it to someone for safe keeping.
If you've tried a reset and to make sure you're doing DCC only (changing bit 4 of CV 29), then you'll have to replace the decoder. Are you using address of 3 when you reset the decoder?
