I've checked and replaced everything.I've also taken one motor apart and checked it. I can get it to work a couple of times and then it stops.

HO / faulty switches
November 02, 2013, 02:10:15 PM
I have a #44561RH &#44562LH DC switches that only work in one direction. I have changed the control but no difference. Are the motors bad or what.

I have just purchased a Bachmann Alco FB2 Diesel Loco With Sound.
When I put it on the track it runs,but no sound.I am using the e-z command system.I pushed the function button along with #10,however nothing happens. Any ideas?

General Discussion / ez command versus dianamis
January 07, 2013, 09:58:37 AM
I am looking for a dcc command unit that will run both dc and dcc including all the sounds in those dcc engines.
Will the dianamis system do this?

I did that as requested by MRC but it did't send power to the track.They said it probably wasn't (bachmann) compatible with prodigy even though bachmann says its compatible with all systems.

Mr. C,
You can alternately run a dc locomotive on address 10 if you do not have the 44212 dc power pack hooked up to your E-Z Command.  Then the dc locomotive and the DCC locomotives both draw power from the E-Z Command's wall power supply (wall wart.)  If you have the 44212 hooked up, the dc locomotive and the DCC locomotives  both draw power from the 44212's wall wart.  There are two advantages of using the 44212 - it gives you a completely separate CAB (speed and direction controls) for the dc locomotive and it allows address 10 to be used for another DCC locomotive.  Having the 44212 hooked up does not provide any more power for operating the trains.  Normally the wall warts for the 44212 and the E-Z Command are identical and interchangeable.  Is it possible that yours are different?
The wall warts are exactly the same,( numbers are identical) Could I use a 5 amp wall wart to correct this problem?

... sound and regular DC locos draw more than a newer DCC non-sound loco.

ACY,
I am not sure what you mean by "regular" locomotives.  A dc locomotive that is converted to DCC by adding a non-sound decoder will not draw less current.  If anything, it will draw slightly more to power up the decoder.  Are you perhaps referring to older train set locomotives with less efficient motors than those used these days?
