Will N scale Bachmann remote turnouts (ie 44862) accept a stationary decoder like Digitrax DS51K1 to actuate the motor?

Thank you. I assume then that Kadee gauge will work with Bachmann rolling stock.
#4
Where can I buy one?
#5
The "CLOSED" or "THROWN" shown in my throttle display does not match the physical position of the turnout.
Anyway way possible to reprogram the turnout to make it match?
#6
I push the programming button in the turnout to enter "programming mode" but nothing happens.
I know the turnout receives power because when I power the track the turnout's points rails swing back and forth once.
Ideas?

My turnout was defective.

 I have contacted the Parts department and they emphatically responded they do not sell replacement decoders for turnouts.

UNBELIEVEABLE! I was operating under the assumption that Bachmann was serious about model railroading. Not carrying replacement parts for their products --especially electronic components!, it is not professional.

I see many people read my problem. I also gather nobody ever encountered this problem/need. I guess I will have to spend $85 to buy a WHOLE NEW turnout. I will think twice in the future before I invest in Bachmann.

A suggestion would be to call the Parts department. The phone number is on the site in Parts, Service and Information. They are usually helpful.

Will do. Thanks.

I suspect the decoder in one turnout (Bachmann HO 44131 NS EZ Track Command Right Hand Turnout (DCC On Board) is fried.

Is it possible to purchase a replacement?

Bachmann Parts stated they do not carry replacement for the decoder.

Re: HELP Needed to program Bachmann DCC turnout with a DCS210+ AND DT602 throttle

Try this Group. I use to belong to it some years ago because I used Digtrax decoders.

...

I am active in both groups. So far no echo. I gather that DT602 and DCS210+ are brand new products without too much experience in the field.

AT the moment I'm following LEN advice. Let's see what happens.

I´m hoping too. I am running out of options. Digitrax and Bachmann are of not help. I have spend thousands for this layout thinking that using Digitrax and Bachmann was a good decision with respect of support. Both brands have good brand recognition. I´m very dissapointed with both. I am even considering scrap the whole project and sell the parts in eBay.

Thank you for your time.

I found and tried the article Digitrax KB341. However, the article mentions DT40x or DT500 series throttles, and the OPT or CV/WR buttons to save the info. The DT602 does not have such buttons.

The thing is I cannot find any instructions from Digitrax to program a turnout using specifically the DT602 throttle (newest model).

With the help of many of you, THANKS!, and after finding my turnout was defective, I was able to resolve the problem.

I find it is very easy to forget to include all pertinent information.
But I have another question for you.
I have an HO Bachmann GP7 loco with DCC "Sound Value" by SoundTraxx (not Tsunami or others) on-board.
I want to reset the mobile decoder to factory defaults.
You suggested CV8=8.
Looking at the loco CV's list, CV8 is "Manufacturing ID" and its value is 141 (SoundTraxx).
Is your suggestions still valid?
