    i am afraid my Digitrax DCS 100 has gone kaput. I fired up the train layout and when I turned track power on none of the locomotives would move. The sound on one of my diesels kept revving up and then restarting over and over. When I disconnected the DCS100 from the layout and connected it to a test track, the loco I used would surge down the track cyclically speeding up and slowing down. Am I right in thinking it’s done for?

    It looks like the only option for a replacement is a DCS240. Can I used a DCS240 with my DCS150 as a booster?

    Thanks, I think I just got some coal in my stocking.

    Well as the saying of the season goes “I bring you good tidings of great joy..” Though replacing the CMOS battery did not work, a hard reset by disconnecting the power and pulling the CMOS battery for a few minutes WORKED! Things are back working. Have to redo all the consisting but I’ll take that over buying a new command station.

    You might also want to double check the power supply, too.
