Would anyone be kind enough to share their decoder settings for the Bachmann GP-35, RS 3 and Consolidation? I am specifically looking for start, max and associated setting. Thank you in advance, I would be most appreciative of your input.

To reset Bachmann DCC On Board decoders I set CV8 (it has a value of 101 to denote Bachmann) to 8 and then press Enter (I use an NCE Power Cab system) then exit out and then go right back in and after checking that the Long Address is reset to 0000 I then reset the Long Address to what ever I want to go with the particular engine I'm working with.

I do all this in Program Track mode.

dave,
there are two different types of decoders.
flory is disscussing the Tsunami sound decoders,
and blue is disscussing the standard bachmann decoder, which is what
I'm guessing you have, and the availabe setting are limited

Thanks so much everyone. Yes, I have the standard Bachmann decoders in all of these locos. I am using the MRC Prodigy Advanced 2 as my system. I don't know if that affects any of your feedback. But, I really appreciate you taking the time to help me anyway. You are what model railroading is all about.
