I have been trying to figure this out on and off for awhile now. I think the cable from the PR3 to the laptop may be fubar. I am one of those guys who says... "I have a dozen of those cables around...somewhere"...
Yup! No 8 ball here. Just a Yellow Happy Face on a golf que. Like the neighbor city had. I think it was Mukwonago.
Well... the decoder in THE Wifes Kato E5A is toast ! I found a resistor that somehow became unsoldered and was just sitting on the frame !! Not only do I have NO idea where it came off of...there is NO way in Hades I would ever be able to resolder something that small back on... Now I just have to find a replacement decoder.... No clue what i need...*sigh* .
Unsoldered due to excessive heat is the likely answer. That is a transistor and betting that is where the power goes out to the motor. Is that the decoder that came with the loco? Snap a pic?
It's probably a Digitraxx decoder made for that loco . Here it is ......https://www.digitrax.com/products/mobile-decoders/dn163k0e/
Digitrax quality control is not the best, before the move to their new facility, they used old pizza ovens to solder their decoder boards. That is a big reason I had to stop using them and move on to TCS, Zimo and ESU decoders.
Wow, how long you had it? Cause I bought the Zephyr DCC set just a short time ago. That is indeed the decoder that is in mine, DN163KOE. Is it under warranty? I actually have not run mine much as I am working on the layout. Good luck, hope you get it working for her soon.
Where have ya'll been? Mine was briefly on my '65 VW street rod in '78. They were common around here. All kinds of them.
In anticipation of a soon to be new acquisition to THERR there is a new tenant at the old warehouse. .
THE KNOTTVARRY Cold Storage Co.is a 3rd generation cold storage company. It was founded way back when by 'Somwatt Knott Varry'. She is a very...very distant relative to the 'Knott' family of California fame. That's my story and I'm sticking to it !!!
My special run UMTRR car came in today. It is looking good over at the 'team track' with my TB special run car. .
Very nice scene! I really like the layered rock in the background. How did you do that? Whisk broom on wet plaster/material? What is that yellow & brown equipment on the wooden loading ramp?
The layered look is sheetroock mud spread over window screen. Then it was 'raked' at an angle with a hair barrette...something like this... http://www.aztradingpost.com/images/AT-1541-19651-HB.jpg The piece of equipment on the dock is an ugly fork lift I got from somewhere. The 'forks' broke off a long time ago. It is now just a placeholder until I find something better. .
Whisk brooms, combs, hair picks, barrettes; whatever works! And work it did! And that explains why I thought that object on the ramp might be a fork lift, but could not see the forks!
