Hi from Australia.

I literally just took the plastic wrap off my On30 Tsunami-equipped Climax (item 28601) - yes, it's been on the shelf a while! - and placed it on a programming track connected to my regular Sprog II (programmer) and Decoder Pro software. But in 15 minutes, it was recognised only twice, and in one of those I managed to change the changed the DCC address to 10.

But it simply isn't recognised by the Sprog programmer, e.g. I tried to set a Speed Table and only one point could be changed. Decoder Pro simply reports that no decoder can be detected. Yet I can open a throttle and operate all the sound effects, so it's only the motor that isn't connected (and with no feedback, it can't be programmed, I presume). If I turn up the throttle I get the sound effects but no movement whatsoever. And nothing's moving at all, so it's not the "simply" stripped gears problem.

I haven't yet disassembled it to see if the wire to the motor from the decoder have been misplaced, but that will be my first guess.  But what would you suggest I do, please.
