I just received a brand new On30 4-6-0 from a dealer on Ebay today. The lights and sound works fine when I use Channel 03, but no movement at all! I have a Digitrax DCC system and other locos run fine.
Anyone have this problem? Any thoughts on what to do before I send it back?

eBay dealer?
I have had a few problems with'brand new' locos purchased from eBay dealers ,
You could try a decoder reset usually enter value 8 in CV 8.
If lights & Sound are working then the loco is picking up power OK, so there may be a problem with the power reaching the motor
I assume that you have checked that the loco to tender connections are OK? No loose cables?
I would be inclined to return the loco to the dealer and get a refund.
I have this loco and find that the plugs that connect to the engine can appear to be fully in but are not. Try pushing them in a little more, it may work.
With this loco you can disconnect the engine completely and still have the sounds etc as all the gear is mounted in the tender.
Hope this helps.
