Lights
Solution
One of my lights is out
Most likely you had been r unning the
engine in DCC or DCS mode and
toggled that light of f. Put it back into
one of those modes and tur n that light
back on. The engine will r emember
that when you run it again in
Conventional DC.
None of my lights are on
Could be the same reason as “One of
my lights is out”
Is the engine getting po wer? Check to
see if there is voltag e on the track or
move the engine a few feet in either
direction.
Motion
Solution
When I apply power to the
track my engine starts up
(lights and sound) but it won’t
move
Lower the track voltage then raise it
again. The engine should s tart
moving. If you apply greater than
9VDC quickly the engine will just set
there. Lowering it below 9VDC then
raising it will get the engine moving
My engine hesitates at sl ow
speeds
An engine may do this right out of the
box if it has not been lubricated.
Follow the lubrication instructions.
Now go ahead and run it.
New engines even after th ey are
lubricated may take a little bit to get
everything run in. Be a little patient
and let it run for a bit. It should clear
up shortly after lubr icating and
running
Analog DC
