I just purchased a Western Maryland Spectrum 2-10-0. It makes all the sounds but the engine itself will not move even when the wires are properly connected. What didn't I do? I went through the procedure of coding it.
Dear Cortland,
Please contact the service department after making sure all the plugs are in tight.
Have fun!

Hi, I did not know there was a Spectrum Western Maryland Decapod with sound. I am assuming this is the Russian Decapod. Can anyone tell me the Bachmann product number so I can search for it, and also what livery it is in, please?
Thanks,
Bill.
Did you give it a 2 or 4 digit address? 2 digit address on most dcc systems are 01-127. 4 digit is 128-9999. Also what system are you using? Try address 3 as some times sound decoders are a pain to program. If address 3 works, the decoder was never set to the new address. If not try a decoder reset. Usually CV8=8 will do it. Joe

It's not current merchandise so you'll have to find it at retail, online or on ebay.

Just to give you an idea of what the thing looks like:
