96RAF Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 When you say the motor is on - is it turning or stalled. If turning suspect a failed gear but if its stalled then look at jammed motion, rods and valve gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJN Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 I have a loco that lurches forward a few inches and then stops whenever my Select controller is powered up. There are known compatibility issues between my controller and decoder; which now seems stuck in DC mode.Does your loco respond to a 9V battery test ?

Fishmanoz Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Shiv, R3719 is not a factory-fitted DCC loco, there would be an alpha suffix to the R number if it were.So what decoder has been fitted and what controller are you using with what firmware revision?And I take it that it was working 2 years ago?PS. Only 1 carriage return needed between paras here, the forum software bizarrely adds a second itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
