follow up to this thread... I acquired two ut4-r's and put them to use at Galesburg RR days this past weekend. The kids went bonkers running their own train out away from the layout. 24 feet of table top t-trak, used the inside main exclusively for the wee folk to run a train (had two trains running on the outside main, only had one rear ending incident!) way to go digitrax, the ut4-r is a WINNER!!
All I have ever used is the DT100, and after my break from playing with DCC (nothing operational for about four years now) I have almost forgot everything. I have no idea how to setup a consist. Of course I have been too lazy to read the manual again.....I figure I will when the time is needed. But what I will probably do is end up just programming from a computer anyways
I suggest that you read the owners manual...when you have your DCC system operational. It will save you alot of headaches. Stay cool and run steam.....
Roger and I will, the main things I forgot was working the voodoo of the DT100R itself. I had the manual memorized damn near once. But like anything, if you dont use it, you will loose it.
DT100 throttles are akin to the antichrist.. god I hate mine!! never did figure it out.. break down and get a dt400r and you'll never look back...
I run my DT300R's at our shows.... the club owns some DT100R's and folks sometimes ask me how to do certain things... I have to tell them: Read the manual! (Actually, we have some club "cheat sheets" printed too) Harold
