Some early HO P2K E units and PA's had very high current motors if slipping or stalled. I would check any candidate for a decoder install on DC for current...
Hi Folks: The drop-in is a bit of a misnomer here. If you read the manual for the SDN163K0A decoder (available on the Digitrax web site) you will see you need...

Hi All, I do brass steam in HO. I usually put DH163 or DZ-143 decoders in them. Can anyone recommend a plug to connect the tender to the Locomotive? I have...

Don, I don't have a PR3, but a Locobuffer USB. The only place I see it is if I go into hardware manager and look at ports. Jim In a message dated 6/1/2010...
John, It is not a misnomer at all. The decoder is indeed a drop-in. Unless the frame is already set up for a speaker, one must make a place for it, as in ...
It all depends on how you define the routes. The command to initiate a route is a standard switch command (e.g., 101t), where "101" is the TOP address and "t"...

Greg, I meant to say Device Manager. I was replying to the person who said he could not "see" the PR3. If it behaves like Locobuffer, you won't see any ...
Is the track power indicator dot in the DT400 off, blinking or on solid? You may be in STOP mode. If so, press PWR, Y+ until it is on solid. See Section 7.1 of...

Hi guys last night (late, too late :-) I tiedied up a set of wires from an output of a DS64 to the relevant solonoid motor. Unfortunatly now the DS64 wont...
Do all outputs of the subject DS64 exhibit the same symptom? If you blew an output, others may still work. Have you tried the DS64 with a Tortoise or similar...
