Aigh... <br /> <br />So, I just finish installing the new MRC Syncro Steam Sound decoder in my favorite MILW 4-6-2 right as my dad walks in to start on Wed. nite layout working session. I put the loco on the prog track, set it up, put it on the main, and let 'er rip... Everything works GREAT. no problems whatsoever. Then we went and started working on scenery for a while, finished up and decided to run the trains a while... The steamer was still working great... after another 10 minutes of run time, the dang thing stopped dead in it's tracks and that was it... No more sound, no lights, no movement, nothing. Our other DCC equpped locos still ran OK. <br /> <br />Put it on the prog track, and assigned it a new loco # and the lights on the train flashed. Is that normal? Anyone have any idea what's going on? I think the decoder blew up... probably going to send it back to MRC and beg for them to fix it.
