70 tonner address change

[stj_lc]

I recently bought a new red HO 70 tonner with DCC on board. I cannot change the address from 3 using either MRC PA or NCE systems, programming on the main.
Last year I sent another new unit back for the same  problem. The tech called to see what address I wanted and was surprised that I was having a problem. Problem solved.
Question--what did you do to get a new (#50) address?
I also bought the new cream/gold scheme and changed the address ok.
Thanks Dan

Do the MRC, PA and/or NCE systems allow Operational Mode address changes?  Or do you have to use Service Mode programming?  Some major DCC systems prohibit OPs mode address changes to prevent accidentally changing the address of every locomotive on the layout.

Jim--Thanks for your note. I have programmed many Bachmann in ops mode--that is the only way I use. In the one in question I can change momentum.
