P.C.M Posted September 27, 2019 Author Share Posted September 27, 2019 Looking for some DCC advice. I am sure I have had this problem before but can't find any info at the moment. None sound normal 21 pin decoder lights go on and off each speed step. I am sure it was as simple as changing a CV last time but I can't remember which one. Cheers Peter. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRman Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Pete, make sure you have 28/128 speed steps selected on the Power Cab (button on the lower right, from memory). The flashing lights usually indicate you have got it on 14 speed steps. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRman Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 (edited) If it isn't that on the controller, you may have to check the value in CV29 on the decoder, and add 2 to that value - see https://ncedcc.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/200537669-CV29-Explained.

Chris64B Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 The shed is looking great! Brick work looks nice and the complex roof structure is neat - was it copied/inspired from something or just made up on the hoof - either way it looks excellent.

Cheers Peter. I always like to see a pass/van train. I never got to experience them, bring just too young (or possibly just unaware). I’ve seen a few photos of surprisingly short van trains with a BSK in them being electric hauled, something I’m keen to recreate. Were there any still running to North Wales in the late 80’s? I haven’t seen any pictures, but then there aren’t many of parcels traffic at all, presumably because it was dark! Super evocative photos as ever though.

Thanks although the Pass/vans i run on Llanbourne is a bit of a cheat. As far as I know there wasn't such a train on the North Wales Coast in the mid 80s. but there where quite a few all over the UK. There was a train from Cardiff to Crewe and I have imagined it was extended to Llanbourne. The train was book for a class 47 but the 37/4s were quite common on it along with class 50s which worked the train on a number of accasions.

P.C.M Posted November 10, 2019 Author Share Posted November 10, 2019 (edited) So I had some time tonight to sort a few DCC issues. Two class 47s needed cv29 changed so the lights are now sorted. Next was fitting a TTS decoder on my class 31. Now This was a replacement decoder as the last one was playing up. Guess what same problem.{ Loco moves about 30cm then stops then moves then stops sound works.} So had a play, decoder works fine in Bachmann 8 pin chassis. so decoder is ok. fitted non sound 8 pin decoder to class 31 no problem. Any idea's cos I am done. Cheers Peter. Edited November 10, 2019 by P.C.M Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could be worth a look. Also, there are CVs that alter the behaviour including the BEMF cutoff: CVs 150 to 154 (documented in the leaflet that comes with the decoder. Try CV 150 = 1 as a starter.
