Mike: This is not going to be of non $$ help... If the engine is well enough worn to have power wipers fail then we might suspect the brushes in to the motor. When the brushes wear they get

The use of "function" for both a button on a DCC controller and an action by a DCC decoder causes confusion in general. The confusion deepens when "function" can apply to a decoder action that could

Hello Gerry and all, Thank you for your responses. Perhaps I was not clear enough in my request; my apologies! Currently, my locomotives are set up with non-automatic (non-directional)

I received the new chip for the A yesterday, and installed it last night. I'm sad to say it did NOT correct the BEMF problems. It's behavior is identical as the default settings of the original chip.

It is certainly useful to have the ability to associate the DIM-ON/DIM-OFF control of a light to any throttle key. It does not seem to me possible though that it could be done with the existing NMRA

Hi Gerry Not sure what KJ wants, but yes the ability to dim several lights with the one function Key would be great. My need is to be able to dim the front headlight or the rear headlight with the

Perhaps you have the wrong comm port selected. In QuantumCVManager click on the menu item "Command Station | Command Station Options | NCE Powerhouse Options...". In the NCE Powerhouse Options dialog,

KJ, I don't understand what you want changed in regards to the Multiple Lights CV's. CV55.136.0 allows you to turn on/off the automatic Headlight and Reverse Light features (and 6 other automatic

Mike: From memory of articulated engine installs I've done with Titan/Evo is that is a feature of these sound files...they can drift in and out the sync of both engines. It's the same as a

The clear hearing of the 8 chuffs of the 4 cylinders of a 2 engine steam loco depends on speed, and rotational angle between the two engines - front and rear - of the articulated steam loco. The

What QSI was implying is the chuff is a CHANGE from the original sounds. I know simple-articulated is surely going to sound different from a 4-8-4, UNLESS all six drivers are in perfect sync! Oddly,

Mike: Good to see you were able to get the V7 chips... The A is a simple articulated so the 4 cylinders all exhaust directly for 8 beats per driver revolution. For the best effect the two engines

I have another question: I ordered TWO new Upgrade chips: One, of course, for the A, and one an original J-class that didn't come with BEMF, or "regulated throttle control" at all. Both chips I

I have a DC power pack on my layout. It is a MRC (don't know which right now), but it has like a "regulated" power control and yes, the A runs smoothly on DC. I did flip the loco upside down to clean

That should read WILL work with Quantum Programmer but not with NCE

Sorry left out some text - after removing the shafts, if the loco moves very easily back and forth, with all the wheels moving freely, there is no binding in the rods, or rod joins.

If I read correctly your earlier posts, the decoder, with the upgrade chip, has run fine for quite a while. before the model started acting up. There is a long list of factors that can cause

Just got a new lap top with windows 10. I thought I down loaded the drivers needed from the QSI site but cannot get CV manager to work through my NCE system. If it works thru Quantum Programmer, the

If the motor was "acting up", would it still run correctly with the BEMF turned off? I talked to Jack Baer, the Guru at Litchfield Station, and his first guess was the chip. But of course, not

Only problem I've had in the past with V7 QSI decoders is that they often loose their brains while running after a few moments they recover and start running again with all settings intact I've
