So I bought an Athearn Switcher at a local train show and when I put it on my layout, the engine starts buzzing. I put the loco through my routine program setup (I'm using Prodigy Express DCC) and it does not respond to any commands on the throttle, but the lights are on. I have a DC power pack and I put the loco on the track and it runs, smoothly and quietly. The lights come on as well. What could be the problem? Is it an easy fix or is it more than that?
Plus the guy I bought it from said that the loco(s) that were for sale, were bought, used once and then put away. He also said that it 'ran,' but I guess he meant on DC, not DCC..?
