I used Digitrax DCS 210 command station and programmed the address on a program track. It has no problem with my other locos. Just tried again, still have the same problem...

Jerry,

What DCC system are you using?  How are you addressing the loco number?

It sounds like you may have the address you are setting it to in a command station consist.  If that's the case, then the command station will only send function commands when the loco address is selected and won't send motor commands unless the consist address is selected.

Intermountain loco address issue
Posted by hjQi on Saturday, February 5, 2022 10:06 PM

Hi all,

I am working on a new Intermountain ET44AC today. The loco looks nice and runs nicely. But I have an interesting issue. Opening the box, the loco runs no problem. All DCC functions work. But when I set the address to the loco number (on programming track), sounds and light work well but the loco does not move, no matter which speed and which direction. I then reset the loco to factory default. The loco moves nicely, sounds and light work nicely. I have no clue what is going on. Does anyone have any hint?
