Roco DCC Controller and LENZ Compact

Michael has an HO DCC question for knowledgeable readers:

I have a Fleischmann loco that has a decoder factory fitted. Whilst trying the loco on my LENZ Compact I had not noticed that I had left a Roco DCC controller switched on with power to the track. Since I have done this stupid thing the lights work on the diesel but the loco does not move. The lights keep flashing then go steady, but no movement. Is there any way I will be able to get the loco to work correctly again? I kook forward to hearing from someone with experience if possible on this subject

    it sounds like you might have burnt out part of the decoder, see if you can change the decoder first as its the easiest to see if it fixes the problem,i hope this helps, Ian Western Australia 🙂
