Bachmann Engine Issue

Bill asks readers for advice:

“I’m now switching my layout to DCC. I have 3 or 4 HO Bachmann engines that I’ve had for about a year now. I’ve been running them on my track (DC). They run great however the lights in the engines come on when I first power them up but go out within a miinute or so. When I hooked up the DCC it was the same. Is this a bulb issue or something else. The engine were not top of the line. I paid about $100. a piece.”
