Thanks for this. I’m considering upgrading to the NCE powercab from a Bachmann Dynamis I’ve been using for about 12 years now. Just put off a little by the amount of videos on YT demonstrating problems with the system and having to work through them via the community of modellers on here, as the instructions apparently aren’t that great. Question: is the powercab able to read CVS, as this is one of my main reasons for wanting to upgrade? Thanks 👍🏻🚂
HI, I have a problem with Lights on a Heljen26 with NCE Power Cab. I am trying to get too Item 6 on the Power Cab. The problem currently is Train goes forward. Light comes on on Diesel at Rear. Train in reverse Light comes on in the front. I can not get into Power Cab to see why. I expect that reason is that I am completly lost.
Great Video, but how to do i determine what address the loco is using if i dont know what the address is ? I purchase a second hand locomotive and person does not know what the address is or was. thanks
There is a way to read the address on the power cab. But the simplest thing to do is just reset the decoder, CV8=8 this will set the address back to default 3.
Very informative. Only thing I’d like to add is that you should make sure that no other loco on the track is still set to address 3. Otherwise they would all be changed to 5001! Right?
I have a Dapol chip (CV8 154) that refused to accept a change to a short address several times, I tried long 5503 and it worked. Thanks guys.
Very nice and clear, much better than all the other videos that waffle on and on!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks David. Another very informative video! Cheers Ross
Really helpful video, thanks very much.
