Hello, I have 2 Proto 2000 Series GP38-2 Locomotives (wich says they are DCC ready) and I installed the TCS DP5X decoder in them, I put them on the track and select locomotive 03 and turned the power to the track on there was a short burst of light from the headlights then they went out. The locomotive still moves and the number lights and cab lights work but the forward and reverse lights don't work at all (I think they burnt out.) Plus when in reverse I get the engine moving then move the controll to zero and put it in neutral but the engine keeps creaping backwards and will continue untill I move the switch to forward and give it a bit of throttle and put it back to zero then it will stop. I have never experienced anything like this before. I have 2 AC4400's that work perfectly. So for the two questions, I have LED's that I want to install but don't know how to do it (what wires do what) and what could cause the locomotive to creap when the throttle is at zero and only in reverse, and what can I do to fix it? There is no model railroad club in or around my area and there is no dealer in or near my area to help me.

Sorry for all the questions, I am really new at this and the learning curve for me is really steep.
Thanks in advance.

Corey.

Hello, I have a model railway laid out and up untill now I was useing it with the track just lieying on the surface. But after a few problems with the track moving when the train goes over it I decided to TRY and secure the track to the board. I went out and bought some cork to lay under that track (cause that was what I was told that I would need) cut it and laid it under the track, I go and start nailing the track down and after a while I found that the track was starting to get uneven (it would go up and down, and lose it's original shape) plus I was having trouble when the nail head would become flesh with the top of the rail (and could bairly get it to go in the rest of the way.) Can someone please give me step by step instructions on how to secure the track to the base or point me in the right direction on how to do it.
BTW I also checked around and unfortunately there is not model rail club around where I live, so I'm pretty much on my own here.

Thanks in advance.

Corey.
