John, Yes, that is correct. I have also used my Zephyr to check that all of the devices on the loconet (DT400's, UT4's, UR91, UP5's, Locobuffer/USB) are all...
... I have now tried the test with no battery. Same results. Basically, if this has the battery removed and you power it up, it should work. Well, it doesn't...
Jeff, It's obtuse, but the Super Chief manual does tell you how to convert the blinking track status light to a solid one - on page 10: "Press the Y + Key and...
Hello, First I would like to say that I have a very limited knowledge on this hobby, so I need your help - IF YOU HAVE ENOUGH TIME - in figuring out how to...
Welcome Mo, There are plenty of people here willing to help but please understand that what you are asking is not an easy thing to do online and sight (site) ...
Hey Mo, I think that most of us would be confused if we started out brand new to the hobby with a bunch of equipment we never used before. I think the best...
Mo, There probably isn't any way that someone could offer a "tutorial" such as what you want on a medium like a Discussion Group. My advice is to take it a...
Mo, You have: 2 units of Zephyr -- http://www.digitrax.com/prd_zep_basic_set.php <---You mean this?? One unit of DB150 -- Command Station/Booster One unite...
I have a Bachmann USRA 0-6-0 that I got off a bargain table for $5. This loco didn't appear to have many miles on it and I think I know why. After frying a...
Start small First, put ALL that stuff aside except for one Zephyr. Connect it to the track per the instructions and get it running by itself. Get to know it....
Bob, Does TSC support transponding? TCS is always my first choice for N scale decoders and I seldom, if ever, have to look any farther. The URL for TCS is...
I generally find that the Digitrax manuals for each product are a great resource for this. I've found everything I ever wondered about in their own manuals....
I'm trying to get things set up, however, I am unclear about using " ... your DCC throttle, select SWITCH ADDRESS 01 and send a CLOSED command." Am I to...
To: Perry I have no idea if TCS decoders support 'Transponding'. I would be surprised if TCS decoders did support 'Transponding' given that 'Transponding'...
... Mo, First, let me start out by saying that I don't have access to a Zephyr to verify what I write here, but the instructions on pages 39-41 in the Zephyr...
To: ????????? Connect your DT400 to the Loconet at a UP(xx) or the Command Station. You will have to set the DT400 to 'Switch Mode' then select the address...
To Perry and Bob. No, TCS does not support Transponding and I am not sure if any other Manufacturer, except Digitrax has this feature. I have a rather large...
... Eric, No, I do not believe that is the case. You see that occasionally the chirping starts slowly and builds to a crescendo. During the early part, I have...
Thanks for the reply, Bob. With the DT400 in Switch Mode, how can I be sure I'm addressing the DS64 (which is on the LocoNet) switch address settings, rather...
hmm... I use DT400R throttles and the batteries last for months. I use Duracells. I change the batteries only when the throttles go to idle after being...
I found a spare DH123 lying around and wired it to the loco with a 10 ohm resistor in series with the motor. At first, it didn't run but it was drawing a half...
If I'm understanding this correctly, the process should be as follows: Hook the DS64 to the TrackA/TrackB for power; connect it to the LocoNet; with the DT400...
I have a couple of MDC engines that I built a few years back and I would like to put decoders in them. Any ideas or suggestions? They are an RS1, RS3, and a...
Isolate the motors from the frame or trucks if diese and measure the current draw at 12 volts DC. That will give you a pretty good idea of what you will need. ...
