Then you should try to get better . You main symmetra , so you ' re probably goldplat maximum in overwatch , which is basically silver in LoL , so just get better and you ' ll see the game time reduced . <| sep |> It ' s mental illness . Did he say he was trying to create a connection or was that you guessing ? People with normal brains don ' t do this <| sep |> OK I am pretty sure the issue is that you are in programming mode . The power cab puts out enough amps to get the decoder to respond but not enough to fry it if there is a problem which means most likely not enough to trigger the motor to work . Try program on the main by pressing the program button a few times then hitting whatever it tells you to make it main and not programming track side note , I hope you only had one loco on the track at a time while programming on the programming track cuz on the programming track it programs ALL locos on the track , where as programming on the main you only program one loco at a time . As for the switches , I think you are referring to DC snap switches ? With that little push slide button thing ? That is fine to use with dcc as long as the rail circuit and the snap switch circuit never come in contact . Also the buzzing sound you heard was most likely a transistor or something in your DC power pack responding to getting AC power reverse fed thru it . I don ' t think it should be too bad if it was only for a very short while , as it most likely has protection set up inside it so it is not brickedIf you are able to program them then your wires should be fine not to worry . If you did have them both locos on the track they will both respond to the same address so only put one on and program it then take it off just to be safe before you program the other one . I am fairly sure you just need to program on main then you ' ll be fine let me know if that fixes it
