I just received this loco from a fleabay seller. I set it on my test track using nce procab. The lights come on dim.
Nothing else happen. I renamed loco to 3. No response. I contacted seller who claimed he used a transformer (DC) and claimed it ran forward and backward. Could the transformer have damaged the decoder?

I'd like to see tenders for the Shay, Stearns Heisler and Climax that would transform the two truck locos into three truck. The Heisler and Climax should come with pass through gear box truck which would replace the rear truck on the loco, moving the original rear truck to the tender. Too bad Backwoods Miniatures is gone. I just stumbled upon their web page by chance about 3 weeks ago. Maybe....just maybe Bachmann will get their producers on them.

Are the sound modules for the 2-4-4-2 and the 2-6-6-2 interchangeable?
