I have built the above locomotive from a kit that originally ran with DC power. Now I have converted it to DCC/Sound with a TCS WOW101 Decoder with a TCS KA-3 Keep Alive. The loco is giving me intermittent operation. Sound is O.K., get the whistles, Bell and other sounds when sitting still on the track. When I advance the throttle it will run for a short bit and maybe stop dead, like it has hit dead track. The Decoder and KA are stored in the tender and I have used the old DC way of getting power from the track. The tender picks up red wire power and the loco's drivers pick-up black wire power. Other times when I get it going, the loco will keep running, even though the direction switch has been turned to brake and the throttle reduced to off!
Anyone have any suggestions?
