Along with what these guys have said I found that my DCC controller won't run some of my DC loco's and if it does its at a very slow speed.
Yeah the trains run great now, I love that I can run them as slow as I want or as fast as I want and not have to worry about them stopping or...
Well I decided to give something a try. Since the locomotives weren't going though the turnouts as smooth as I thought they should I decided to...
Mike they are Atlas turnouts and not sure the model, they're old, probably 15yrs or so. I rescued this layout from my parents house, it used to...
Rich, i'm experiencing loss of power, not shorts. I'm using mostly flex track but some sectional pieces as well. I'm running 2 DCC locomotives....
Thanks Ken. I've spent alot of time cleaning the entire layout, every part of the track that the loco wheel touches I have cleaned but anytime I...
It seems like they happen around the same spot and it seems it has to do with the turnouts. I got fed up last night so I replaced all my...
I currently have a 4x8 layout that consists of 2 loops and 4 turn outs. The turn outs are wired into a a separate DC power pack. I have each...
The loco's were in the tunnel :) I still have some work to do but its a start. Thanks for the advice.
I've been on vacation all this week so I've been able to get some work done on the layout. Let me know what you think. [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
Good idea, thanks!
Due to space issues I had to change my layout from a 8x12 to a 4x8, might make it a 4x9 before its all said and done with. I got my layout done,...
I had an 8x12 layout that used mostly flex track and due to space issues I had to cut it down to 4x8 which meant redoing most of the layout. I...
Thanks, I'll give that a try as well.
I was using the programing track, I setup my first two loco's on the main track but decided to setup my programing track for future use. I'll...
After messing with it all day, by trying different solder points, and different track the fix was simple. all I need to do is put my fingers on...
Its a Bachmann loco so i'm going to assume its a bachmann decoder. The first 2 loco's I have were bachmann as well.
I bought a new DCC loco the other day and went to program it today but each time I do the steps I get the "dnd" error message. When I got my...
Over the weekend Greenberg's train show was in town. I went and picked up a few things but most of the stuff I really wanted is cheaper online....
Thats a good idea, thanks
