I think a faulty decoder wont start the heading lights and ditch lights at all. DC operation could be disabled in the decoder, that way it will never move unless you hooked it up to a dcc controller. This function is managed by CV29 stored in the decoder, but in order to edit that value you will need mid to high range dcc command station. E-Z DC wont do, neither E-Z DCC command center.

Default value of CV29 of all Bachmann decoders allow dual mode operation DC/DCC. Just wondering what could be!? Its possible the decoder installed in your locomotive is factory set to "dcc only" by mistake. I would recommend contact the seller. They should have dcc station to perform test run else contact Bachmann.

Dear Bachmann and forum members I have one question about new spectrum version of Shay 3 truck loco. Whats the content of the blue shiny box ?
My main question is there a oil tanker assembly weight in addition to the coal assembly weight that fits in to the first smaller tender?

If anyone purchased recently HO scale Bachmann Spectrum Shay 3 truck with DCC sound equipped please post complete contents of the new shiny blue box. I've watched many videos on youtube and get even more confused than I was before that. I saw locos with different smokestacks and both versions coal/oil tanks with water sprouts ?! Some said there were addition toolboxes in the kit some don't ?!

I would like to have complete updated list of content of Shay box.

Thanks in advance.

p.s. sorry for my English its not my native language

From what Jon Miller wrote I see there are two figures (so cool). I would like to have complete updated list of that shay.

Thanks in advance.
