Jim,

Thank you very much for the information. I really appreciate it. I wonder if NJ International switch indicators would work hooked to a decoder as you described.

Thanks Again,
Joe.

Hi,

I have emailed you before and I have called the Bachmann telephone numbers. No Response on the email and it's impossible to talk to a real person on the customer service line.

I have Bachmann DCC switches and crossovers. IS THERE ANY LIGHTED SWITCH INDICATORS THAT WILL WORK WITH THESE SWITCHES?

NJ International makes dumb switch indicators. Can they be connected to the DCC switches? I would appreciate an answer.

Thank You.

Hi,

I feel really stupid. Can anyone explain the meaning of rail gaps in relation to the NCE signal module? I have a NCE dcc system with Bachmann ez track

Thanks...

Thanks Tim!

I had been trying to turn on the cab light on my loco using the shift and F12 button at the bottom of the cab and the light wouldn't come on. I finally figured out last night that my loco doesn't have a cab light...duh.
Would you by any chance have any info on using signals and switch indicators with the NEC system? I have Bchmann DCC switches and they seem to work fine but I'm having a hard time understanding what to buy as far as switch signals go and crossing signals.

Thanks very much for the help.

Hi,

Does anyone know a simple explanation on how to access the alternate function keys for NCE DCC? My loco has cab lights and marker lights assigned to F11 and F12 and I am unable to turn the lights on. I would greatly appreciate any help. The normal keys work fine, F1 - F9, whistle , bell etc.

Thanks.

Hi,

Does anyone know if Bachmann DCC switches have output to signals?
And if so, how does it work? The instructions that come with the switches are very sparse. I'm wondering if there is a way to hook a signal up directly to the switch.

Thanks. 

Hi,

I received some good information about Bachmann DCC switches. Now I'm searching for info about signals for DCC switching. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Casper.

Thanks for the Information on DCC switches. I did figure it out and it wasn't all that hard. I press the pin in the little hole on the top of the switch. Then I press the accessory key on my command system. Then similar to yours, I assign a number, then a 1 or a 2 to determine if the current switch position is "on" or "off". That's it. To operate the switches I then have to press the accessory key then the accessory number. I can also chain or link several switches together on one accessory number.
Now I'm trying to find out about signals for DCC. Any information on that?

Thanks...

Hi,

I'm new to DCC nad I have a couple of Bachmann DCC switches and crossovers. I have purchased a NCE DCC system. I can't seem to figure out how to activate and control the switches. I would greatly appreciate any information on the subject. The info that comes with both the switches and the NCE system is very sparse.

Thanks,
Joe.
