Hi Ed; Did you run the locomotive on DC before the conversion? That's an important step that you shouldn't skip. Since replacing the motor is a big step I would first try rebooting the decoder to default values. If that doesn't improve the situation, disconnect the decoder from the motor, reconnect the leads from the trucks and see how it runs on plain old DC. Then you can decide how to procede.

I should have mentioned that I have a Digitrax DH123 decoder in the engine. Also, after reading the many comments, I compared the motor with my other AM diesels and now believe that I have an older motor in the GP9. I'm not very knowledgeable about the various motors, but this one has a slit on each side and you can see a part of the brass coils (?). There is a fly wheel attached. Does this suggest that I should get one of AM's new motors? Again I'm open to suggestions. Thanks.
