Title: Intermittant Headlight EM 1
Post by: DGrosbier on May 17, 2016, 11:03:17 AM
I have a new B&O EM 1 loco, am very happy with the unit except it has an intermittent headlight. Does anybody have any suggestions short of returning to Bachman for repair? Incidentally front headlight did not seem to work at all until I installed the sound decoder.

The rear headlight blinks on and off at a very regular rate, a die hard B&O fan says that is not prototypical, I assume it is something that could be programmed out but I like it. Very nice unit except for erratic headlight.

Thanks for any suggestions

Install sound module, (be sure not to install up side down)
