I just purchased my first DCC ready locomotives (no command controls in place), from a local antique / Junk(?) store. One of the locomotives is a 10-wheeler, the other more recent purchase is a Decapod. Love these locomotives, They are both Bachman Spectrum. I also purchased a neat Vandy tender, also Bachman Spectrum and DCC ready.
Running the locomotives is sooo sweet, very smooth. I seem to have a problem though with the Vandy tender. When I connect it up to the Decapod, it runs in reverse direction from the 10-wheeler and just about every other locomotive I have. Where do I start with trouble shooting this kind of problem. I have tried reversing the trucks, but the loco wouldn't run. There are two very small plugs, I have no idea which plug does what. Could I reverse connections on a couple of the wires? Which ones???
