Thanks for your response. Surprisingly, I reset the decoder and it started working again. The decoder looked like it was in pretty bad shape to begin with so Ill probably replace it soon.
In my opinion,you more likely fried the motor drive circuit of the decoder.Some decoders have a fuse on the motor drive wich may have blown.
To be sure,unplug the motor from the decoder and try feeding DC to the motor,either a 12 VDC source or a 9V battery.
BTW,these MRC decoders don't need much help to fry on their own.
First Post Here!
I have an atlas trainmaster genset loco that has a MRC 1916 in it. I was trying to quick solder a wire and had it on the track(under power....I know, I know, I k now). Touched the motor black to the front light positive by accident.....now engine wont run. All sound and lights still work but unit move at all. I am guessing i fried the motor?
