Just pickeded up two C-630s. Each equipped with a Lenz LE063XF Universal decoder. One of the function of this decoder is ‘Directional or complete Rule 17 lighting effects’. What does this mean? Can someone please shed some light on this for me.
Verse2damax, You might have better luck with this question on the DCC & Electronics Form: http://www.trainboard.com/ultimatebb.php/ubb/forum/f/12.html That's where the real DCC gurus hang out! Would you like me to move it there?
Pete: I'm going to move this over to the DCC forum. The topic will get more exposure there. Stay cool and run steam.....
Directional refers to having the headlight operate only in the direction of travel. I believe Rule 17 dimming refers to the dimming of the headlights that the prototype does when meeting another train. Harold
For rule 17 lighting effects, the headlight is dim when the loco is running opposite of the normal direction of travel (NDOT).
Richard: I think the above posts answer your question. Thanks Harold and Owen for answering the post. Stay cool and run steam.....
Wow that's neat. Firstly thanks Pete and Bob for your assistance in placing this topic where it belongs. Harold and Owen, thanks for answering my question. Knowledge is power.
