As for what you did wrong, your guess is as good as ours. The way you fix it though is dig out the manual and look up the factory reset cv. Follow the...

... you fix ... Jesse, Tried factory reset on CV then read all CV's to confirm factory setting. Still loco only runs in one direction, no throttle control. ...
Hi Mike, OK, I am using 18 awg solid wire elsewhere on my layout, so I'll use it for the PM42, which I'm using as a circuit breaker (all sections). 1) You seem...

yeah that sounds pretty bad. Well if it's new and you made no changes to it they should do the right thing and replace it at least. Sorry it went that way. ...
The symptoms here indicate that you've managed to set up the decoder lock. To check this read CV15 and CV16. If they are not identical then do a write to one...
hi all I have recently purchased a digitrax sound decoder and would like to know where I can find sound files for these decoders and how to down load them to...
Louis - Digitrax has soundfiles on thier website. Also you will need to purchase a PR2 programmer to load new sounds into them. Bob Robert Heroux CEO/CFO ...
I just opened an AR1 package I've had for about a year and find that on the back is a round orange sticker with the hand written words "#4 not relaying." Has...

... Probably tech talk for a relay that's not working. Might have happened during QA and got accidentally shipped anyway. Might have been a repair and they...
You can find finished sound projects at http://digitrax.com/sounddepot.php along with utilities for creating your own sound projects. As stated in another...
In one of the recent threads some one mentioned holding a wire against a board using a clip and soldering that way instead of coming thru the hole in the...
... That sounds suspiciously correct. I haven't worked with LEDs much so I wasn't aware they had the diode-like polarity. I almost swapped the leads last...

... similar experience with a Bachmann I found out the circuit board has capacitors that have to be clipped out - Bachmanns web site, in the EZ command...
I'm using a PS12 to power my PM42. Does it matter which wires I connect to terminals 3 and C? I ask the question, because I'm aware that current phasing is...

... snip ... You may find it convenient to mount your PM42 on a piece of plywood, with screw terminal 'barrier strips' something like the photos in my ...
I know this has probably been answered many times, but I need to know. I have been in the hobby since the 50's I have a number of old Rivarossi engines. I...
As I have thought about it, reflecting my total lack of knowledge of how the command control system really works, could be(?) the full up layout has to get the...
To: Don't have a name You should perform a 'stall current test' on all your locomotives. A 'stall current test' is measuring the current that the motor...
The short answer is yes, I have done it several times. The long answer is that it is sometimes tricky being sure you have broken the connection between the ...
Per the PM 42 manual, either AC or DC can be supplied. That means that pins 3 and C are the input to a bridge rectifier on the PM42 board. Phasing is not an...
I am looking at controlling 4 switch motors using a DS-54. It would be preferable to mount the DS-54 near the booster that powers it, but that would make the...
I have a DH163AO in an Athearn SD70. I wired the ditch lights to F2 and F3 instead of using F1. It was easier to solder the leads to those two function pads. I...
I will put in one word of advice here. In the older Rivarossi locomotives you will also need to make sure the lights are completely isolated from the frame as...
All: A quick reminder that commercial advertising (of Digitrax, model railroading, or other products) is against list rules. A copy of the rules were provided...
I'm not sure why it "makes more sense" to run at least eight wires over 80' rather than just the two that power the DS54. But if you must, wire size isn't...
Jarrell & Rob, The flashing of lights, normally mean there is a short! I guess a capacitor will produce an intermittent short as it would be continually ...
Depending on the manufacturer there could be capacitors sprinkled all over
the place. I've recently had 2 Bachmanns where there were caps on the
circuit board...
