BLI Steamer stopped working - decoder problem?

Selector - I guess I should be thankful that they are picking up the postage charges for my repair... <br /> <br />Was your loco running OK for a while and then all of the sudden stopped? <br /> <br />This is the 2nd steamer that I've had problems with. One was an MRC sound-equipped IHC that I put together - it worked about 1/2 hour and then stopped all of the sudden. Sent chip to MRC and they replaced it... <br /> <br />So we bought this BLI thinking that having everything "built in" from the factory would be the way to go... But this loco has maybe an hour of run time on it and it's blown up. <br /> <br />I have 6 other diesels (no sound in any of them) that have been working perfectly since I put the chips in them... <br /> <br />Is there something with these sound decoders that causes them to be more finicky? Maybe I just have a dark cloud hanging over my head with the dcc sound stuff... Is bad luck better than no luck at all? :) <br /> <br />I'm happy that BLI is going to fix the problem, but am disappointed that it broke so soon, and that I'll be w/o the loco for several weeks... But at least if I don't have it in my possession, I cannot break it again!
