Hi
I have this loco since it first came out, and it always worked fine
due to house move , the layout was dismantled and stowed in the garage at the new house due to lack of space
all the locos/rolling stock packed in their boxes ans stowed in the spare garage
been like this now for last 3 years
have just made a small shunting layout 6 feet by 20 inches, so unpacked a couple of locos to run on it
class 80, class 24, class 20 all sound fitted
but the class 20 will not run ??
completely dead no sound and no movement
opened it up, can see no broken wires or any other visual fault
removed the decoder and fitted the blanking plate to try on analog track,, nothing
looked on the web for the decoder pins/connections but the colors shown do not conform with the way the loco is wired
and i cant see how to remove the motor to check it out away from loco,,, in fact i can only see one wire going to the motor its black and goes to the top of the motor
pickups are clean and get a reading with meter from wheels to decoder plug , so its not contacts ?
was going to check motor with 9v batt but cant see 2nd motor connector ??
so at moment unsure if the decoder is dead or the motor is dead ??
any help would be appreciated
rgds
