HO / DCC in 45 Ton Switcher
December 15, 2014, 04:44:52 PM
Nov. 30, 2014  I purchased a GE 45 ton switcher # BAC 85201 From Model Train Stuff (A Good Company to deal with), this switcher has DCC on Board. When I received it, it appears the DCC would not work. It would work on DC completely, including the headlights  forward & reverse. When I tried it with DCC it would not operate , the only thing that would operate front headlight. I checked the manufacturer it showed 101, version 046. I tried the factory reset of CV8 - 8 both  in program & main track format to no avail. I contacted Model Train Stuff , they sent me a return authorization prepaid shipping label, item was sent back . They sent me a GE 45 ton switcher BAC 85207 as they were out of Stock of the original. The same problem exists with the new switcher. Is there a master reset that i could use to reset board for DCC. I tried the address 3 & all variations i could think of. So before i call Model Train Stuff again, is there any thing i am missing , or do i have to send it directly to Bachmann for repair. I am using a NCE Pro Cab with a 5 amp  booster.
Thank You

The set was the Overland Limited , nice set. I am getting set for my Grandson (typo Son), he liked it because of smoke & light. I was just curious if DCC with sound could be added. I run both HO & O gauge, my Grandson thinks O gauge is "Klunky", still trying to figure that one out. I have done 1 conversation to DCC  of a DCC friendly loco, wasn't that bad, the motor was isolated made job easier.  This one I willstill buy for Grandson, but will not pursue DCC , seems like with this loco not DCC compatible at all, unless Bachmann has redesigned engine.
Thanks again

Thanks for the reply's, but still hasn't fully answered question.
Is it DCC friendly, DCC compatible or NON DCC compatible.

HO / Adding DCC to Bachmann 4-8-4

I am purchasing the Bachman Overland Limited set for my son, Light & Smoke. Can DCC with sound be added to the 4-8-4 or will it only run conventional DC. And if DCC can be added which unit.
Thanks
