HO / 4-8-4 DCC decoder replacement
February 15, 2011, 01:34:38 PM
Good morning Folks,

   I bought a Bachmann 4-8-4 northern with DCC on board (Santa Fe 3781). I removed the stock DCC decoder and the board that it was mounted on and installed a Tsunami 1000 heavy steam DCC with sound.

   All works well, except the lights don't work.  Are the stock lights filament or LED? Is there something special I need to do in programming the new decoder?  I did not put a resistor in when I installed it.... did I blow the bulb??

   Any help is appreciated, thanks, Larry

Hi Folks,

    New to this. I just purchased a Bachmann 4-8-4 Northern this morning along with a Bachmann DCC system (EZ Command Dynamis). Set it up..... everything is cool, except no lights???  I thought I'd just press f1 on the cab but no go..... any help?? both wire sets are hooked up between the tender and loco...

Thanks, Larry
