WhatsApp Video 2025-07-23 at 22.19.24.mp4 (6,763kb) downloaded 8 time(s). The loco starts to move and stop, all the sounds works properly. Already check the conections and try 2 different controllers, both with the same problem. Other loco runs normally at the same circuit.

He states that sound and lights work, but that none of his locomotives will move more than perhaps a stutter. Here is my recommendation. Set up a test track made up of 4 to 6 straight sections Connect one or the other controller Run through a test of all functions, including lights, sound and motor It is possible that the motor of one locomotive might be blocked/gummed up, but the chances that this would happen to multiple locomotives at the same time are much lower. I am not a CS expert. I have a few MS2 that I use. Regards Mike C Edited by user 25 July 2025 07:41:55(UTC) \| Reason: Not specified

If this is the case then the track and contoller are OK. Check the slider on the loco to enure it is straight and makes proper contact.
		Take care I like Marklin and will defend the worlds greatest model rail manufacturer.

AS asked above did you try with battery. AS you have checked the slider and cleaned everything I can only think the fault is with the decoder or motor.

It is unlikely that the decoder is not pushed down all the way, but I'd inspect that. It is probably in the tender. If the loco no longer runs, but lights and sound are still working, then maybe one collector of the motor lost contact. To test for this, I'd open the loco and gently give the flywheel at the motor a quarter of a turn. Then apply power again and look if it gets moving. Never try to turn the loco wheels by force. If it moves again, then maybe a longer run-in is all it takes. If the issue shows again and again, a new motor may be required. A dare-devil might open the motor to fix it.

		H0 DCC = Digital Command Control
