Title: Spectrum 4-6-2 question for the Bach Man
Post by: NickB on January 07, 2008, 11:17:49 AM
Hey Bach Man or anyone else that has this loco, I have a question for ya.  I got one given to me with a tsunami sound decoder installed.  It has sound and lights but the loco does not run.  I suspect a wire on the motor maybe came loose.  What is the easiest way to get to the motor??  Also if I send it in for repair will my tsunami decoder be removed and just sent back with the new loco if the loco has to be replaced??  Thanks
Nick

Did you program it?  Are you sure your CVs for the motor are correct?

I reset it to factory default, the sound decoder will let me change the adress turn the lights on and off and it makes all the sounds.  But when I apply throttle the train doesn't move, it makes the chuffing sound like it should be moving but yet it doesn't.  Which leads me to think that maybe a wire came loose on the motor itself, because I already investigated the tendor where the decoder is and all the wires are in tact with no issue.

You might be right- give service a call.
Have fun!
