HO ET44AH CSX Sound engine

[CSX2008]

When idling after driving and coming to a stop, my ET44AH CSX engine will start ro move on its own. Either forward or backward depending on what direction it's set to. Very slowly. Weird and Why? I'm using a Bachmann DCC controller with it.

does your throttle indicate a speed step when it starts to creep?

Not that I know of, it's a simple Bachmann DCC controller.

What brand decoder is in the engine?

That one is--not very reliable. I'd try to find something better, if at all possible.

It's probably the engineer messing with the conductor.

That means it has a decoder, either an 8 pin or a 21 pin. The decoder brand is not the locomotive brand.

Intermountain use Loksound 21-pin
