I have only done this once and I am scared that it will somehow break the engines if I do it again, since they are not running the same speed, or does putting them in consist mode change them to run at the same speed roughly?
Thanks!

Seems like the safest thing to try would be to disconnect the motor wires from the decoder board and then apply DC current to them directly. If the motor works, then it could be a fried decoder (although I'd still recommend doing a decoder reset to see if that doesn't fix things).

As long as the contacts on the underside of the PC board are touching the chassis properly, everything should work (lights, motor) regardless of whether or not the shell is on.
Sorry, I'm not following you the re "Burlington Northern" part of your question. In any case, I don't think Bachmann has ever done BN F7's.

If you are on another model railroading forum, than yes, you may have seen this same discussion. Checking here to see if anyone has any other ideas since it is a Bachmann locomotive.
Didn't you have a problem similar to this on another locomotive?
It may have lost its address. You might have to look at the documentation that came with the engine to see how to reset it using the EZ Command system.
