I have a Bachmann Model N gauge steam engine that is factory equipped with DCC. The problem is I can't get the engine to read any of the coding information. I can write to the module but I can't read. I know I can wwrite to it because I set the engine number without problem.
When I am trying too look at the CV's I can't get in I believe I can set the codes, but without feedback I can't be sure which CV I am writing too.
Any help would be appreciated
P.S. I'm using a Digitrax Zepher master station.
The engine is a4-6-2 Pacific logo'ed for C. B. & Q. Cab No 2968 and identified as a Bachman product
Try placing a 1000 ohm resistor across the rails pf your programming track. You should be able to read and write to any CV the decoder supports.
Thanks, Jward. I'll give that a try.
I tried the 1000 ohm resitor scross the programming track. It didn't seem to make a difference with any of my locomotives. It did not solve the "read" problem with the Bachmann loco. So I'm still looking for a solution.
