Title: Problems with tender
Post by: EastbrookBridge on October 14, 2014, 09:03:35 AM
Hello everybody !

First problem :


I am a the very happy owner of six B'mann 2-8-0 but one of them doesn't run. I just have the lights.
In fact, it runs fine if I connect it whith the tender of an other consolidation. I didn't notice something wrong in the tender...

Second problem :

I found on eBay a tender of B'mann 4-4-0. I wanted to modify it to connect it to the 2-8-0. But this time, the loco doesn't run and no lights ! If I connect this tender to an other 2-8-0, same result !

Do I understand that we can't mix locos and tenders in the same B'mann range ?

Can someone help me ?

Best regards from France !

Re  the  faulty  tender  check  the  decoder is  OK  swap  the  decoder  from  a  tender  which  you  know  works  OK  or  fit  a   decoder  blanking  plug.

Did  you  but  the  loco  with  the  faulty  tender  NEW?  if  so  you  may  wish  to  return  it  to   the  seller  for  replacement.

The  Ebay  tender  from  the  4-4-0  may possible  have  wiring  or  decoder  faults,  check  it  actuall has  a  decoder  in  it  and  if  it  does  swap  it  for  one  you  know  works  OK.
