Good Morning ! from Tipton IN.

Yes, I have too. I have an MRC sound decoder with a bad motor driver that does nothing but generate sound. An NCE decoder moves the engine.The motor function of the original decoder could be fried. I've done that with a couple of locos. The latest is a Bachmann GP38-2. I have a Digitrax DZ125 decoder piggybacked on the Bachmann decoder. The Bmann decoder handles the lights while the DZ125 controls the motor. Why this setup? The motor function of the Bachmann decoder is crap but the light function works. The motor function of the DZ125 works but it's light function is fried.
That's what it is. Reverse motor driver is toast. I've got an email out to Atlas and American Hobby (QSI service department).The motor function of the original decoder could be fried.
Sandy- Did you get any snow to go with your COLD?
I've been talking to people in Missouri today and they are getting slammed with snow.
Got the frozen pipe cleared finally. I had a hair dryer going on it for close to two hours before I got a trickle from the taps. After a few more minutes it was running full force. I went out and rewrapped that part of the pipe real good and put a layer or two of steel wool around it as well. Next time them pesky critters chew on the wrap it'll be terminal for them.
