Hi,

I have the Bachmann 2-8-4 Berkshire N scale with sound. I run DCC. Everytime I turn the power on the sound of the engine is switched on automatically. I then press F8 to switch it off. I only want to have it switched on when I run it. Unfortunatelly next time I turn the power on it makes noises again. How can I reverse this? All of the other trains are silent when the power is turned on and only get loud when I press the corresponding F key.

Regards,
Stefan

Hi,

I'm new to this forum. I'm Stefan from Germany. Most of my trains are German but I also run some American. One of those is the Amtrak Acela #650 (Bachmann 83054) with built-in decoder. The problem is that it runs far too fast (~ 300 mph). When I run it it's already 100 mph fast with only step 9 of 128 steps (DCC)!

I can't change the maximum speed. The decoder doesn't react on programming cv 5 nor to the cv's 67 to 94.

Is there any way to make it slower?

Regards,
Stefan
