Bachmann DD40AX and MRC Railpower 1370
Rick wants to hear from those with experience of Bachmann DD40AX and asks:
"I've been around the hobby all my life and right now am deeply confused. My wife bought me a DD40AX for Christmas. I'll tell you right out, Bachmann has never impressed me. The unit ran great for less then ten hours, then it stopped. All the lights work from the track but no movement. I can put power to the chassis and it runs. Now Bachmann says to use their power supplies or NMRA approved packs.
I'm in a little 'hic' town with no hobby shops. I would believe MRC Railpower 1370 would be an approved pack. Now the unit is set up for DC and DCC and I understand many of your readers are masters of DCC and may have an answer?

The only thing I can tell you is to takee the decorded out of the engine. The engine should have come with a jumper plug so you caa take the decorder out.. Try that and see what happens. The decorder might be a bad one.
