Yes... I later spoke with Bachmann and it's faulty so they are going to replace it... its up to me to replace the other, unfortunately. I'm still troubleshooting and having no luck. Cheers!

I have bachmann crossovers and when I try to program them, it cause an electrical short. Why? One of them has been on my layout almost three years and worked perfectly... added another and both stopped working and now I can't reprogram them... please help!

Hi! I just added two more turnouts (one is a crossover) and programmed them numbers 6 and 7... now turnouts 2, 4 and 5 wont respond and when I tried reprogramming number 2(also a crossover) I get a short circuit warning! It worked perfectly for almost three years. Any idea how to fix this? Thanks!

First, a big thank-you to you all for responding!

Its a NCE decoder in an Atlas C424 loco that I bought used on ebay about 6 months ago and worked perfectly until I experienced a short circuit. I've tried resetting the decoder's CV many, many times (on a programming track). As soon as I place it on the track it takes off without power being turned on! Ive never seen it before. Looks like I will be replacing the decoder.

Thanks again!

Three days of trying to reset the decoder and it just wont work! What should I do next? Thanks

Thanks for the info! I've been trying repeatedly for the last 30 minutes but its not working. Keep you all posted. Cheers!

I tried reprogramming the loco on the main track, and it completely ignores anything I try and races around the layout at an unbelievable speed.

I tried reprogramming on the service track and its hard to do because I have to use one hand to keep it in one place (my service track is only a couple feet long and wired seperately from the layout) while using the other hand to use the dynamis. It's a NCE D13SRJ decoder and the instructions says to change cv 30 to value 2 to reset it to factory settings. The train stops racing; vibrates once, pauses for a second, then takes off racing again. If I hit the stop button the train will stop however it wont allow you to program while stopped. The reprogramming does not take effect and the train takes off racing again. I also tried resetting the cv 8 to value 8 but it didn't work. I'm stumped! Thanks for your help guys, I appreciate it. Cheers!

Please help!

I have three locos that I use as a consist when all of a sudden one of them caused a short circuit and everything stopped (I use the Dynamis system). I quickly pinpointed the loco and removed everything else from the tracks. As soon as I hit the stop button again to resume power, it took off at full speed and will not respond to the controller at all! What can I do to regain control of my loco? I'm not very experienced with decoders and don't know what to check for! Thanks

After some frustration I figured out how to program my dcc turnout using the Dynamis system. Here's what you do:

1. ALWAYS use a service track or isolated track for programming as it not only protects your loco/accessory it protects all other decoders from being reprogrammed.
2. PRESS the mode button to view accessories and go to accessory 3 as it's the default address
3. PRESS and hold the programming button on your turnout and it will toggle back and forth (twice)
4. ENTER the new address
5. PRESS either straight/divergent button and turnout will toggle four times

Hope this helps!

Howdy!

I recently acquired the Dynamis and DCC turntable. Is it best to use the table as an accessory address, or normal address? Thanks!

Howdy!

Just wondering if anyone has tried using the Atlas brand elevated pier set with Bachmann's ez track? What is the grade percentage? Thanks!

thanks for the input. Lots to think about!

After much debate, I dismantled my layout and will begin again. I am very interested in the DCC turntable and I would like to know EVERYTHING Before I buy... the good, the bad, and the ugly! So far I have learned it has a 14" diameter, with a 10" bridge and 16 indexed tracks. I also read that the Tidmouth Sheds will adapt as a roundhouse and I'm okay with that. My biggest concern is the indexed tracks... are they powered? It would take a lot of wiring to power all those...

Anything else I should know? All comments are appreciated. Happy Saturday!

Thanks for the advice. Didn't realize it may be the wrong magnets... got them second hand with no explanation, and no packaging. It sounds to me I don't have the delayed magnets... thanks again!
