JEFF: Been following your posts on the elec. forum and hopin' you can help me here.
I have a Bachman sd40, DCC on board, brand new.Programmed the #(Digitrax),ran it for a month or so with no problems,really like it.
BUT(ya saw this coming, didn't you!),the headlite, then the rear litestarted to dim. Then it started moving on its' own even when not addressed to a throttle.Rear lite went off alltogether,can't get it to turn on.Then it quit responding to ANY command.It plain DIED on me!I thought to factory reset,thinking it might be that,but haven't yet. Won't respond to 03 commands either.
I did nothing to it other than programming a #.Any idea what's going on?

It had great food and always great company.....

First question: Did you program it on the main line or on a program track. If you did it on a program track and it didn't work out try programming it on the main.
Second question: Did you reprogram any CV's. Those cheap Bachmann decoders tend to be really picky about that. Try a factory reset on it and see what happens. What do you have to lose. My thought on this is that the decoder is dead.
If it were my choice I would be getting a better type decoder for it. I prefer the Digitrax DZ125. It can ba hardwired in and is small enough (Z scale) that it can fit anywhere. I have a pair mounted in a pair of Athearn BB F7's and they're running good.

New Management, but I see we've kept the same helpful and proficient staff. Smart move! There's always Cousin Vinny to think about.
Ryan: It was with some trepidation that I posted the Billion thing including the N.O. references. I took it that the author was illustrating the mind blowing size of a Billion rather than jabbing at those who are rebuilding. Anyway, illustration was my intent in including that section, and I did realize that you, in particular, would feel somewhat closer to the situation than I, hence the trepidation. No offence meant.
Paul: He hasn't swung by yet, but we have a "resident" Paul already. Generally these duplications are solved geographically (CapeJim and OZJim spring to mind.) So..if you could let us know more or less where you are, we could get to know you as "xxxxJohn, perhaps.
also Bob...but that name seems somewhat familiar.
Have some soldering to do in the "back shop" having replaced the wheels of my VIA loco with NWSL thinner profile ones. I may have introduced some wobble, as this is N to begin with, and I don't have the right tools either. We shall see, once the trucks are re-soldered to the power wires, and I can test things out.
Goodnight all, and God Bless. I hope PC gets in with good news about his son's op. Prayers for all in need of healing, comfort and peace.

New management? Flo and Zoe are still here, aren't they? I sent Zoe my recipe for Sauerbraten last week and she promised to add it to the menu. Oh, BTW, Zoe, you don't have to bake an ENTIRE ginger cake to use in the sauce, you can just get a package of ginger cookies and crumble them up. But remember, Zoe, you've gotta marinate the beef for a WEEK. If it doesn't knock you across the room when you take it out of the 'fridge, then it isn't quite ready yet, okay?
Okay, now I feel better.

Well, I was going to give everyone an update earlier today on my son's surgery this morning. I couldn't though because, though I can log on and read the forum from the hospital, I can't post. Anyways, the surgery was a success! He was in surgery from 9:30am til almost 5:00pm. They had some problems (they had trouble waking him up......a symptom of the MD), but he's through it and the prognosis is good. His feet are 90 degrees to his legs for the first time in his life. He'll have about 6 weeks in the casts and then 3 months in braces day and night, then two years of braces just at night. But my son will walk, and that wheelchair that they told him was only a decade away, ......it looks like he may never see it! Thank you God!
And thank you all for your prayers!
Great vid Guilford Guy! I got 2 Sountraxx DSD 101LC Sound Decoders & 2 speakers from Tony's Trains Exchange. Installin them in 2 Bachmann Berks.
PC, I'm very happy for your son!

***Philip, that is OUTSTANDING news. So happy for your and yours. Sending healing htoughts your son's way.
***Alex, great shots in that video. Some real well used workhorses & equipment.
Got some stuff listed on the bay. Exhausted tonight, so am heading for bed where I am going to eat pizza and watch TV awhile. Have a good night all.

It's amazing what medicine can do!
Alex, I reconize the RS units, what are the low hood units?
Did Bergie kick us out again?
Geeze, that's like twice in two months...
Hello again, everyone........
PC .... That's absolutely outstanding news! Prayers do work miracles. Please pass on our well wishes from Elliott's Diner. If you let us know in advance when your son is to be discharged and is to go home ..... We will call out the marching band to celebrate. ...........maybe have fireworks, too.

Lamoille Valley Rostered 7 locomotives. 5 RS3's and 2 RS11's. In the late 80's 1 of the RS11's and 4 of the RS3's had their noses chopped. The roster at time of death was 4 RS3m's (7802-7805), one original RS3 (7801), 1 Chopnose RS11 (3608), and one original RS11 (3612).
Should be fairly easy to represent in HO, although getting loksound decoders for all of them may be difficult...
Hi Chloe, I see Zoe's working on that recipe that BridgeTom dropped off, huh? Oh, I'll have a Dr. Pepper and some popcorn, if you have any to fix. Want to watch Alex's movie. Thanks!

Hey, Alex! That was a great video - but who was the musician/group on the soundtrack? I like that tune, too!

PMeyer, aren't you glad the windows in the bathroom can be opened from the inside? I don't think it was anything you did, but as I pulled up to the Diner III, I thought I heard Bergie saying something as he walked away, about "If they're gonna serve an all you can eat Mexican buffet, for safety's sake they ought to serve Beano, too!" Guess somebody had one too many burritoes... But maybe I heard Bergie wrong.
PC, that is great news on your son's surgery! and for the surgery team, too! (and the Big Guy who watched over the whole shebang). I'm sure this is a load off your and your wife's minds, right?
Hey, Bob K., every so often Bergie comes by and has us clean the place up (by moving it a few tracks down). The twins must've called for a switcher when they saw him coming, 'cause the place got moved in record time tonight! As you can see, we come trickling into the new location after we see the sign on the old track that Bergie left us. Almost as good as a bread crumb trail.
Chloe, I'm hungry now that the movie showing is over. How about a hot fudge sundae and a cup of coffee, please?
Let's see those new mugs, Chloe! Hey, that should solve the numbering problem so we don't keep having to re-order them.
Thanks, Alex. Movies and picking up the tab - what a deal!
I'll be in the corner booth - hmm, the view of the evening train is pretty nice in the new location. Ah... time to kick back.
Blessings,

Hey, Mark, what can I say? We're just very chatty!
All,
My son and I were talking this morning before we left and he was reading all of your posts of support for him. He read all of your words of encouragement and your promises of prayerful support. He was visibly moved by it. Now understand, he's 12, so he's way too cool to cry or anything, but he was really moved by your words......words from people all over the world who he'd never met or even conversed with. It really did mean a great deal to him. I'll be showing him around the new diner so he can see all that you've said when he feels up to it. Right now he's in a lot of pain, but the Morphine helps. It makes him real sleepy though. *UPDATE* I just got a call as I was typing this from my wife who's staying the night with him in the hospital and she said his breathing monitor keeps going off. Seems he's not breathing deep enough in his sleep and he's not getting enough oxygen. They may put an oxygen tent on him. Looks like we're not out of the woods yet!
Gotta go!

Hunter - When we met in January of 2000, you were just a 6 week old pup who walked his way into this heart of mine as the only runt in the litter who would come over to me. And today, I sit here and tell you I am sorry we had to put you down. It was the best thing for you and also the right thing to do. May you now rest in peace and comfort. Love, Dad. 8 June 2010
I love you and miss you Mom. Say hi to everyone up there for me. Rest in peace and comfort. Love, John. 29 March 2017
Phillip, I hope the best for him! With luck his breathing will resume normally soon. Its great that with modern medicine, many difficulties can be corrected.
