new address on Loco

[JohnKevin]

Hi, I just bought a HO E7. I have Digitrax for DCC. I dont have a programing track. I want to change the address from 03 to 04. Any help appreciated.
Thanks, John

Since this is a Bachmann forum, all I can suggest is to program on the main.
I have done it with my NCE system once I did the initial program track stuff if I wanted a new engine number. Just no other loco on the main. Your manual will give you instructions.

Digitrax systems have trouble reading Lenz type decoders like Bachmann. The solution is simple. Set yourself up a programming track using a couple of sections of track connected to the programming leads of your command station. Then, you connect a 1000 ohm resistor across the rails of the programming track. I modified my resistor by soldering alligator clips to the ends of the leads so that i could remove it when not needed.

With this setup you should be able to reprogram the decoder according to your user manual. What system are you using?
