HO / Have problem with DCC locomotive
April 06, 2010, 01:17:44 PM
I have cleaned the tracks, put a little oil on the wheels and cleaned them as much as possible, tested track (it has 12+ VAC, all 4 sets of wheels have resistance but the train will not start. It acts like it is getting one second of voltage but goes no where. I have reporgrammed the function key from 3 to 1 and still nothing. I reset it by pressing 3 and the stop button and then 1 and then the stop button. Is there a reset button that I am not aware of one the train or on the control? I am willing to send it in for repair but not sure if the locomotive needs to be repaired or the controller? Any suggestions are appreciated. I also have no lights coming on the locomotive when I press F10. Also, I do not have another locomotive to test with but guess I could purcahse another one if that is the only way to test??? Thanks

General Discussion / Power problem witn E-Z Command
January 13, 2010, 11:45:37 AM
Track seems to have a problem as the light on the train will come on for a few seconds but the train will not start. Is this a power problem on the track? Do I need to somehow add more power to the track in various locations? If so, what is the easiest way to add power? I am a beginner so please keep it simple. I gave this to my grandson and it worked for about 6 months but for some reason not allow the train to run. The train was running slow on various parts of the track before it totally stopped running. I have checked all the connections and cannot see anything wrong but any suggestion is welcome. Thanks

General Discussion / EZ Command cable
March 21, 2008, 05:13:10 PM
Does Bachman sell a longer modular plug-in cable that goes from the EZ commander to the track or do you have to cut the cable and make up your own cable? I would love to purchase this instead of splicing. I need at least a 10 foot cord but 15 foot would be even better. Thanks for any suggestions.

Scale, Category: HO Scale - Sets
Item No: 00501
Name: Digital Commander
Roadname: Santa Fe; Union Pacific

I want to place the above set, with additional EZ track not in the kit, around a room that is 10' X 12'. I understand from reading on the website one can purchase the EZ track straight pieces in a bulk package. Will I need an additional voltage booster. I also want to purchase a truss bridge and have been looking at the Atlas Code 100 truss bridge. Any suggestions would be welcome as I am a novice grandmother/want-a-be carpenter who plans to put this all together around the perimeter of my 6 year old grandson's bedroom. I live in the US just incase you need to know this for the power issue if I indeed have the issue? I hope this message board is the place to post this.
