Thanks rich for all the help, looks like I'm going with a tender Chasis from the parts page. i think the USRA long tender shell will mate up to i, i hope. Like i said I'm new at this, me and my son are learning as we go.

hoping before i buy a new tender that the PC board is the culprit. The PC board number is s256x PCB02 and is located in the center of the tender not in the back like the picture on the part page.

p.s I'm still a newbie in DCC just got half of my layout done

 ah i see. looks like i may have to get a long tender for the 2-6-6-2 from here then but just in case the bachmann spectrum USRA long tender number is #89831

real quick question. are all main PC boards in the bachmann tenders the same? Oh , too richg i have for now a bachmann e-z command station, hope to get the zephyr soon for this large layout (gotta start somewhere).

thanks, put decoder in a dcc on-board Berkshire tender works. so its in the USRA long tender, wish i could find a Berkshire tender like i want, it would look great behind the 2-6-6-2.

Hello, I hope you can help me out. I have a bachmann spectrum 2-6-6-2 vandy tender/w sound, I'm going to a dcc ready USRA long tender(spectrum). I purchased a 1amp bachmann 2 function decoder installed it and nothing Nada. no lights no movement, nothing. tried a regular power pack still nothing. put differant dcc tender on , it works. please help
