Issue Details
Reported: 01/30/18       By: Keith Waddell

Problem Description:

This one is wierd. When another loco on the layout shorts out, this loco suddenly starts running at high speed. I have seen this scenario with old Bachman decoders and the only solution is to replace the decoder. Plan was to install this engines decoder into the gp20(GP38-2 -JE) western Sierra loco.

JE: The decoder in here is a standard Digitrax N-scale sound decoder. It is over 5 years old. recommend we try it in the GP38-2 and see if a reprogramming will fix this behavior.

Solution Description/Service Details:

this problem has now been transfered to 334A since I took the digitrax decoder out of this and put it in 334A. This loco now has the old soundtrax decoder out of 3001. Note headlights do not work
