I obtained a GP-9 (6-18564)that states it is command control equipped. I do not have TMCC so I started it up using conventional ZW tranformer. I was able to run it around the track both forward and reverse, do whistle, bell etc. After a few minutes the engine suddenly stopped moving. I still have all the sounds. I have removed power (takes about 10 seconds to quit making sound) and then applied power again. Same situation: lights and sound but no movement. Any ideas on the problem and how to fix this?

I had exactly the same issue with mine not long after I got it last year. Took me about a month to figure out that the wire to the motor was broken, but the insulation was still holding on so it didn't look like it without a close inspection.
