Fishmanoz Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Mushtaq, welcome to the forums. Some more details on exactly what loco you are talking about would help tremendously. In the meantime, check the wheels on your pony truck. 2 on one side should have plastic bushes around the axle, the 2 on the other side not. Make sure they are there and on the same side as the bushed driving wheels. If they are wrong way around or missing, that will be the reason you’ve shorted out and blown the decoder.
