This is from the Mrc wireless manual

Programming Loco on the Program Track
1. Make sure your Cab is allowed to program on the Program Track.
2. Place the loco on the Program Track. Press PROG to select "Prog Prog
Track". Press ENTER.
3. First, "Adr" will flash, prompting you to program the loco address. Using
0 - 9, enter the loco address followed by ENTER, or press ENTER to skip.
Note For the beginner or if you want to only program the loco address, you
can stop right here. Put the loco back on the Main Track. Select the loco
by pressing LOCO then enter the loco address and press ENTER. Now
you can run the loco.
4. Next, "SV" will flash, prompting you to program the Start Voltage. Input
data and then press ENTER.
5. Next, "Acc" will flash, prompting you to program the acceleration rate.
Input data and then press ENTER.
6. Next, "dEc" will flash, prompting you to program the deceleration rate.
Input data and then press ENTER.
7. Next, "TV" will flash, prompting you to program the Top Voltage. Input
data then press ENTER.
8. Finally, "CV#" will flash, prompting you to program a CV (Configuration
Variable).
At this point, you have already finished most of the decoder programming.
You can stop programming here by pressing ENTER. The Prodigy
Wireless allows you to enjoy your model railroading without having to
deal with such questions as: What is a CV? What is it for? How do I program it?
9. If you want to program a CV, enter a CV number. Press ENTER. Then
enter CV data. Press ENTER. "CV#" will flash again, prompting you to
program another CV. To skip, press ENTER.
Note Programming a CV with incorrect data can cause a decoder malfunction.
Read your decoder manual carefully before programming a CV. Also,
read the Configuration Variables section on the next page.
Programming Locos on the Main Track
Programming on the Main Track can save you the effort of moving a loco
to the Program Track for programming. However, you have to know the
loco address in order to program on the Main Track. Otherwise you have to
program the loco on the Program Track. Not all decoders support the
Program on Main feature. Please read your decoder's manual to check
whether the decoder supports this feature.
1. Make sure your Cab is allowed to program on the Main Track
2. To program on the Main Track, press PROG to select "Prog Main Track".
Press ENTER. The current loco address will flash, prompting you to
program the current loco.
3. To program the current loco, press ENTER; to program another loco,
enter its address and press ENTER.
4. The rest of the programming procedures are the same as the
Programming on Program Track procedures (see above). We
recommend you bring the loco to a stop before programming because if
the moving loco has a bad pickup, it may fail to receive the program
command, causing a malfunction.

I am using MRC Wireless. Changing from 0003 to 1071.

Phil watch this video on youtube and he will show you how to change the address on your Locomotive.

I received my new Nce Power Cab today, set it up and made some cv changes and boy what a difference in how the Locomotive runs. Very very smooth.
I am very pleased with the system.

I remember when my Layout started out like yours NOW INVOLEVED IN A 2 1/2 YEAR BUILD "I should be done with my layout Mid January or Febuary 15 Complete with Scenery" I will shoot some pictures of my layout & post... Now my layout is 16ft Long x 6 1/2 Feet Wide  2 track main & 3 Track interchange & 9 Track Yard Area.... Just an FYI to you if you can extend your layout NOW for expansion & have the Room to do so wile your in the BUILD PROCESS " I highly consider it " I am SO GLAD I did with mine & now I have more than enough room for ALL my Rolling Stock & Loco's...

But Very Nice Bench Work "Well constructed So Far"

Thanks, I'll keep the expansion in mind before I permanently put the track down.

Update on my layout

Mr M-

You can wire your EZC directly to the power buss and then run feeders up to the rails. I find the best way to do the feeders is to solder them to the undersides of your rail joiners. I don't like to count on rail joiners to carry current through more than one joint which means a powered rail joiner every four track sections unless I solder rail joiners which I typically do. This can make for a lot of feeders but I use flex track so it's more like a feeder every 12 feet.

Thanks for your response, Since I asked this question I found a great deal on a Nce power Cab kit, so when it comes I will be using it.

Yes I have just haven't got around to doing it yet.


Have a question, What would be the best way to wire in the E-Z Command controller to the layout,

Straight to the bus line or cut and splice it to the bus and the e-z track terminal?

Well I went and bought the Wiring to setup my bus around the table and got feeder wire for the track
and suitcase taps.

Mr M-

That looks like a solid base for your layout. I endorse your plan to add insulation board. That makes for a versatile
ground level and it permits you to model below your tracks -- culverts, water features and the like. The one thing I'd add
to your structure is some diagonal bracing. That will help keep most of your cars on the tracks when someone bumps into the
table. An 18" or so piece of thin plywood would work fine for the ends with 1x2s or 1x3s on the sides.
                                                                                                                                                       -- D

Thanks for the tip..I do plan on some bracing just haven't got that far.

Thanks guys.

I plan on putting down a sheet of insulation on top of the plywood so I can carve out a stream or and a lake.

What would you Guys do next...start buying more track, or start wiring just the Buss line for now...etc, etc.

Any input would be great.

Here is my Table

Up date I have all most finished my layout table I'll post a pic when its done.

Hi everyone,

I just received my new train kit...It is a Bachmann Echo Valley set, it is Dcc and sound.

And I just went out and got the lumber to build my table. It will be a 4x8 layout.

This is going to be my layout as for now.

http://www.servimg.com/view/13546220/180

Thanks for the Reply's. Happy Railroading

It is steam 2-6-0 DCC with sound.

Does anyone know if Bachmann makes a traction tire for their Ho  Locomotives?
Or does any other Manufacturer make them for Ho?
