I just received a brand new On30 4-6-0 from a dealer on Ebay today. The lights and sound works fine when I use Channel 03, but no movement at all!  I have a Digitrax DCC system and other locos run fine.
Anyone have this problem? Any thoughts on what to do before I send it back?

eBay dealer?
I have had a few  problems with'brand new' locos purchased from eBay dealers ,

You could  try a decoder  reset  usually  enter value 8 in CV 8.

If lights & Sound  are  working  then the loco is  picking up power  OK, so there may be a problem   with the power reaching the motor

I assume that  you have  checked that  the  loco  to tender connections  are OK?  No loose  cables?

I would be inclined to return the  loco to  the  dealer  and  get a refund.

I have this loco and find that the plugs that connect to the engine can appear to be fully in but are not. Try pushing them in a little more, it may work.
With this loco you can disconnect the engine completely and still have the sounds etc as all the gear is mounted in the tender.
Hope this helps.
