Hello new the the forum. Found you guys looking for a solution, and found some really good reads here. But not a answer.
I recently got a BLI Paragon 3 SD9 BNSF. the thing is pretty cool gonna using it as a road switcher. BUT upon putting it on the track today for first time. I ran through the usual start up f9 tested bell f1 whistle f3 etc. then ran it around the layout for about 15 min varying the speed to break it in. the problem happened when I stopped and tried to back it up into a siding. No reverse! The rear light lit up, the rpms came up, but it wouldn't move. I lowered the speed and put it in forward worked fine stopped put it in reverse same thing. so I programed cv 8 to 8 just to hope something programmed wrong at factory. And still nothing. What gives I don't know. Has anyone got any suggestions? I don't really want to return it and wait on another.
