These are said to come with ESU sound from the factory. I have had no luck at all with factory installed decoders from Atlas with motion only...
I saw the same problem with my Southern Box Cars and made them aware of it as well. I did reach a human and was offered a choice for different...
Perhaps the low pricing is what lead to the demize. The prices are still not too bad. And with gasoline and all other prices going up, it isn't...
My wishlists is also intact as well. Good to see the site kept my login credentials as well.
Well I started trains in the mid 1990's, started DCC in 2004. Many of those had a Digitrax DZ143, they were highest of the failures. My first DCC...
Well the bulk testing is done, only 2 of 140 BNSF locomotives need new decoders. 2 Kato GE C44-9W's need new decoders. So that is all there is...
Massey, my testing was just to see if the decoders were still alive or dead. I saw several units come up with the wrong number, like you. On those...
Well the end is in sight! All that is left is the box with the BN and BNSF locomotives. It is full to the top of the box so it will take a while...
Don't you just love the Fast Tracks turnouts, used them exclusively on my layout.
With UP finished with only 2 failures, 126 good, took care of all my Norfolk Southern with 1 bad decoder out of 127 and moved on to Southern...
Current status, all UP locomotives were tested as of last night, and only 2 bad decoders in that bunch of 115 locomotives. In process now is my...
I have gotten to the point I toss the ones that are troublesome in the trash. And because of all this nonsense,I have not purchased an Atlas...
I am doing the same thing. It is not what you think though. NCE firmware is the definition of Mediocrity. Every other decoder I have from...
I am using the PR3 to test the locomotives. And I have never had an Altas factory installed NCE decoder ever work out of the box. So my solution...
A trend has started: I have a bunch of Atlas locomotives with factory installed NCE decoders in them. Everyone of them failed! 26 of 26. All I can...
It is not the voltage but the current that is needed to light up the advanced circuitry of the sound decoders. In my case these are early...
ATSF Update: 192 locomotives 7 bad decoders - Possibly the power from the PR3 is insufficient to power sound decoders. One was a Broadway Import...
I have the ESU CAb Control system and aside from some small issues I really like it alot. I still use the LokProgrammer so I can have a backup of...
All 30 of my Amtrak locomotives are good, no bad decoders. Here I noticed something. JRMI reads the ESU decoders faster than Digitrax or TCS. I...
Good Bourbon is always available in my home George! You just need to come in and sit for a while......
