This is just plain weird! I was running the MP15dc back and forth on the layout, trying to see what I might do to correct the sudden, unexplained, stalling and noticed some other strange behavior. When I hit the horn button on the DCC cab, the horn would sound and the bell start ringing (should not do that - separate functions), but the horn did not want to stop until I repeatedly hit the horn button. Also noticed that the uncoupling and air hose separation sounds no longer functioned as they did before.
So I did a factory reset of the decoder and programed the engine number back in and what do you know? It's now running just fine with no stalling or other strange effects and everything is as before!
Question is, how could the decoder have gotten messed up, just sitting unused for a few days? Could the decoder be going bad or did I unknowingly do something the last time I operated the loco?
