I just recieved a new Bachmann On30 2-6-6-2 engine. It's a great engine, except that when powering it up with my MRC Prodigy Express controller, it doesn't move until I get to speed step #8. Isn't this a bit too high before startup? I'd like to run it in a consist with my 2-8-0 Connie, but can't until I can get it to start crawling at #1 or #2, like the Connie, Shay and Climax does. Does anyone have a solution? Thanks....Jim
PS......From what I can see, there is the main board with a 21 pin PC Board attached, then an 8 pin wiring connector attached to the 21 pin board. This is differant then my neighbors Bachmann 2-6-6-2, as he has a main board with the 8 pin DCC connector only, and it crawls on notch 1. Could this newer style board be messed up from the factory? I'm about to tear out everything and hardwire it the old way with a regular Tsunami articulated DCC modual, but am trying to save some money.
