I have an Athearn GP38-2 lettered for the BNSF and i wanted to convert it to DCC. So i took it to my local hobby shop and i bought a decoder and everything. I removed the little metal strap thing that bridges some electrical gap to install the decoder. I didn't install the decoder because i found out that an Athearn loco needs a special decoder (don't worry i have another use for the decoder i bought), so i put the strap thing back on, and now it won't run on DC!!! Please help!
