HO / Bachmann GP40 Issues
September 08, 2015, 05:19:08 PM
Sent this out on general but it is an HO topic. I have also noticed something else since that posting. I have 2 BNSF GP40s (#s 3001 and 3002) that are less than a year old. A few months ago, 3001 developed a problem of no wheel power while it was runnning (in reverse) in a consist with 3002. Sent it in and was given the explanation of reset to factory specs and lubricated. It has been fine since although I have only been running it indiviually. Now 3002 has developed the same problem. Lights on, no wheel power. However, I HAVE discovered that it WILL run on address 3 (wheels) but address 7 (assigned address) still correctly operates the lights. I have tried to reassign the address but to no avail. I am using an E-Z Command controller.

I have 2 BNSF GP40s (#s 3001 and 3002). While running them in a consist 3001 stopped running. Lights still worked, just no other power. Sent it in and it was returned with the explanation of reset to factory settings and oiled. It is running fine but now 3002 has developed the same problem (in almost the same length of time). Is there a way that I can reset it to factory settings without voiding the warranty?
