Suddenly the locomotive does not run forward or backward it just moves slightly very jerkily and then stops. I have changed the motor armature and brushes and checked for loose wires but the fault still occurs. The dual horn function and lights still work. Do you think the decoder is at fault?. Thanks in advance Andy
