I took the (really) long way home from work last night and stopped by the hobby shop to pick up my DT402D and UR92. Since the layout I run on is already packed...
Chris-- DCC usually has higher voltage on the rails than a typical power pack-- you may burn out the light rather quickly. Higher voltage may mean the light...
Hello, Can someone contact me offline at onrfanatic@... as our club is looking for a DCC setup and I believe some stores were offering such that-I am...
I have an ABA set of Athearn Genesis locos that recently stopped running after a derailment. The units have their idle sounds, and remember their addresses,...
Clay, what age are your Genesis? I bought one from E-bay a few month ago and I had to use the DC controller to get it working again. I send an e-mail to...

... This apparently fixes the little blinking dot that seems to cause a lot of trouble! I assume the DT402 is the same. Jon Miller AT&SF For me time has...
Hi all, Why would there be a difference between the voltage reading on a throttle and an actual voltmeter. I got stopped last night in the middle of a session...
Tightyfist, What sort of load did you use with the meter when checking the battery?? The throttle is of course showing the reading with it as the load. But to...
Why do you want to eliminate it? It is a standard part of the LocoNet protocol that syncronizes throttles to the LocoNet ID contained in the UR90/91. When you...
If the headlight is on a constant lighting circuit (i.e, the brightness doesn't change with speed) you may be OK, but watch out for heating in the components,...
Just got started with Digitrax and DCC. I have several Southern Rwy engines that are long hood forward. Most are Atlas engines with decoders. Now is their an...
When a battery gets slow, it takes very little load on it to produce a large drop in it's output voltage. If you go to rechargeable batteries, make sure the...
CV29 is an 8 bit byte, the least significant bit of which determines the "Normal Direction of Travel" (NDoT) of the loco. If CV29 is even, NDoT is forward. If...
Allen: CV29 only SEEMS complicated, heh, heh. Thd deal is that this single CV control a number of functions/operations. I think it is 4 of them, but I don't...
All of the other suggestions notwithstanding, look at the current value in CV29. Then, to do what you wish, if it is an even number, add 1; and if it's an odd...
There is a CV29 calculator in the files section of this group. You decide what options you want and the calculator gives you the proper CV29 value to program...
The PowerX batteries from Maha have impressed me too. We just ran three of them for 32 hours at our club the last two weekends without recharging and only one...
From a more generic standpoint, these two messages are valid Loconet messages. But they are not documented in the publicly-available LocoNet specification...
I have these batteries for over a year now, but no charger, my old RS charger seems to be charging them just fine. Regards Phil Euper in SC ... From: "Ken W."...
Good evening... time for a dumb question... What is a Loy's Toys Fuel Tank... Do I need one? Richard Connecticut [Non-text portions of this message have been...
Chris, I converted an old Concor PA to DCC and used the light that came with it. It didn't take long for the light to blister the front of the cab. I have...
Loy's Toy's Fuel Tank is/was a power supply kit. Loy is retired and the supply is no longer available. BTW, it was a kit and required assembly. Martin Myers...
