Nick, You may want to download Decoder Pro from the same website. I had similar identity problems with a factory installed decoder that was different from the accompanying information, and also had an

Thank you all for your tips. Another user pointed me to the JMRI websitehttp://jmri.org/xml/XSLT/pages/DecoderId.html which has helped me narrow the field considerably. Not the easiest thing to find

If it is a factory installed decoder, Soundtraxx has a spot on its website about factory installed decoders. Find it at: https://www.soundtraxx.com/factory/index.php Greg Williams

Bonjour, Configuration variable CV 7 contains the version number of the decoder. In Europe some manufacturers give additional information in another variable. Have a good day in

The NMRA Manufacturer ID list shows 141 as "Throttle-Up (Soundtraxx)". Rich

This isn't strictly a wiring question but I'm hoping for some help/direction. I have a Stewart Hobbies F7 equipped with a Soundtraxx decoder. Being new to JMRI I am trying to add it to my roster but

Otherwise you will be programming every item attached to the mainline output of the PowerCab. (Guilty). Wiring for DCC has instructions for making a programing track.

I have the PC but used a short section of isolated track some years ago. Seemed logical for program track from all I have read in forums over the years and the manual. Rich

Thank you, Don. That makes sense, and I’m a little surprised NCE doesn’t cover that in their documentation.

Nick, If you use the entire layout as a programming track and there are multiple locos, circuit breakers,reversers or other attachments to the track bus, there is likely to be too much load on the bus

Using the NCE Powercab it was my understanding that your entire layout can be used as the programming track since NCE doesn't have separate programming track outputs. However, when I attempt to use

looking for experienced empire express ho modeling folks. HELP!

Hi Bob, The simplest way to get a fully independent supply is to purchase a "wall wart" or a "brick" supply with appropriate ratings.  So each Circuitron will draw 15mA.  Allow another 30mA for

Power all of the switch 8s directly from the booster output. That would constitute an accessory bus. Power each track power district through an appropriate circuit breaker. DonV

While I did not use any decoders with my turnouts, my 30 or so turnouts are all powered by a small 5 volt transformer connected to a wiring terminal block. It works very nicely.

Hello, I’m new to this forum so please be gentle with me. I am from the UK and I’m in the process of wiring a layout which would be considered modest by US standard. When complete, I expect

I finally discovered the answer to my own question. To turn off any function requires leaving a bit blank, not treating it as a toggle.

If I toggle F2 on my NCE cab, I can start and stop a horn blowing in any of my locos, regardless of decoder. But if I summon F2 via my NCE Mini-Panel, once the horn begins to blow there seems to be
