I am not planning to go to San Antonio tomorrow. Did you decide on a 1 or 2 PM start time? Would you like me to make up some "dividers" and/or labels for the car card racks?

Do the electronics in the sound equipped diesels have enough capacity to run 2nd motor in a permanently coupled non sound equipped locomotive?

I have a Proto/Walthers GP9 which doesn't want to stop at speed step 0 even after setting CV's 2, 3, and 4 to "0" Tom in Texas

I can't seem to get any sound out of the locomotive Here are my observatinos The engine runs on both DC and DCC. I can change the address from 2 to 4 digits using OPS mode programming I can turn the l

While operating a pair of new Walthers Proto GP20's, we noticed that the 2nd locomotive would stop when F2 was depressed to blow the horn. Tom in Texas ************************************** See what'

One of my friends is having trouble withconsisted QSI locomotives?using his EasyDCC system.? The motor in the 2nd locomotive seems to cut out when the horn?(or sometimes another function button) is de

Setting CV11 to zero didn't help the problem and "application" to join the EasyDCC list hasn't been approved yet

Setting CV11 to 0 worked the 2nd time we tried it. We also got the following information from the Easy DCC group The new 629 firmware is a marked improvement - BUT - CVP warned of a few small changes

The B unit decoders appear to have connectors for the forward and rear lights. Can I hook up lights to these outputs or are the outputs disabled in the software. Tom in Texas **************Wondering w

I replaced the stock speaker(16 ohm impedance) with a 8 ohm high bass speaker and now the decoder shuts down when I blow the horn. Is the amp really that sensitive to a change in impedance? Tom in Tex

Which QSI decoder is most like the one being factory installed in the Sunset 2-6-0's? Tom Pearson

Thank you for the information.? I have a couple more questions Does Q1 refer to an OEM style board with a replaceable chip? Since JMRI doesn't have the specific profile for this decoder, can I assume

I have 2 friends whose FP7's act like they are in disconnect mode (sound but no movement) but don't respond to double pressing F6 or receiving the reset instructions from changing the 3 CV's listed on

Yes both of the "problem" engines respond correctly to functions like F1 and F2. I tried using the value of 128 you suggested in my F7, and the engine responded with the word "reset" after I entered t

I had the same issue when I went to put an 8 ohm high bass speaker in a QSI F unit (probably not a Q1A). The suggestion I got was to add a 1/2 watt or greater 8 ohm resistor in series with the speaker

The decoder in question is in a Walthers high hood GP20. The engine is brand new. Wheels and track are clean/ An identical engine purchased at the same time works fine On a programming track equipped

I am working on a BLI unit with a version 6 chip which seems to go stupid every time I try to change a CV using OPS mode programming. I disabled the reed switch but it didn't seem to help I am using a

I noticed that the QSI equipped Atlas MP 15 locomotive I have has a noise suppression capacitor attached to each motor brush. I know they recommend removing these on Bachmann Spectrum locomotives and

After almost giving up on a P2K locomotive with a QSI decoder, I decided to go back and retry the "DC" reset procedure and it worked. My "conclusion" that you must wait at least an hour for the capaci

I have a pair of older (version 6 chip) P2K GP9 chassises which were configured to run with the long hood forward If I purchase one of the new chips, can it be programmed so the lights operate correct
