Sorry to hear of your troubles with the engine!
I am not sure of members here who offer such services, but two places that get consistently good reviews for DCC are:
Tony's Train Exchange: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.tonystrains.com/">http://www.tonystrains.com/</a><!-- m -->
Litchfield Station: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.litchfieldstation.com/xcart/home.php">http://www.litchfieldstation.com/xcart/home.php</a><!-- m -->
I looked up the manual: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.athearn.com/ProdInfo/Files/G">http://www.athearn.com/ProdInfo/Files/G</a><!-- m --> ... Manual.pdf
If that is the right one, is it possible that one of the tender trucks is reversed, or even one of the wheelsets was reversed upon reassembly. I would think they would have caught this by testing after the repair, but anything is possible. I had this happen on one of my steamers, and it is difficult to find, as it may be hard to tell which wheel is insulated. Anyway, not sure if that could be it, but worth checking. One other quick check is to see if it's possible the plug was reversed from the tender?
