I recently purchased a Santa Fe GP 40 with DCC on board from e-bay. When I received the unit, everything worked fine in DC mode. I don't have my DCC set up yet, so I took the unit to my train club to try the DCC. I tried several addresses, but to no avail. I then tried to program the unit, but that was a no go as well. Now the unit will not work in reverse in DC mode. Can anyone help me with the DCC or DC problem??? :'(

Try resetting the the engine back to factory settings.

Thanks Jerry. :) How do I do that? ???
In your original post it says you don't have your DCC set up yet. Does this mean you have it and it's not set up or you are waiting to purchase one? You will need a DCC controller to reset the decoder.

I have a DCC system, I just haven't set it up yet. I can go to my train club and use the DCC there to reset the loco.
You can set up a programing track with the set you have. It does not have to be on the layout. Which system do you have?
