jamescav Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Hello,I purchased a Class 92 Marco Polo last tuesday and fitted it with a DCC chip today. Just the basic Hornby one. I ran it for half an hour in each direction just like any other loco but half way through running it in the second direction the lights started to flicker. It's only one side of the train as the other side still runs compeltely fine. I've just tried again and now they've completely stopped on one side. Anyone have any ideas how to fix this?Thanks a lotJames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishmanoz Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 High James, welcome to the forums. Can you try removing the decoder for a while and going back to DC to see if the lights still don't work? I'm thinking either your loco or the decoder is faulty and needs to be returned. The question is which. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so confused to what the problem is. It's been running for about 10min now non-stop and seems to be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishmanoz Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Might have just been a poor connection into the socket that you have now fixed by removing and replacing. But if it recurs, take it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishmanoz Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 You can talk to HCC about repairs but still think you should return it. Or get HCC to fix and get seller to pay, if you can negotiate that with him. I've done that before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
