Does the Peter Witt Street Car With Lights (DCC) now run fine on the Bachmann track using the same Kato Standard SX DC power pack used with the Kato track?
#62
Identify the Bachmann DCC decoder equipped locomotives that run fine powered by which model Kato power pack.

Usual suspect is the pulse power generated by a DC power pack is the source of the erratic performance.

Note: The Bachmann item# 52404,  HO Nickel Plate 2-8-4 Berkshire Steam Loco & Tender w/Sound & DCC CVs are factory set with using an E-Z Command Control Center in mind.

Hunt - It has never been necessary to do so. I've never had one mess up.

Terry, That is the first I have heard of in over the two decades I have been involved with DCC.  You sure you are not getting absent minded (having senior moments)?   ;D

I want to power and control their locomotive's speed, direction, and lights and the whistle.
. . .

A Bachmann E-Z Command Control Center Item 44932 or the old 44901 will do what you state what you want to do. It is a good choice to have something to use while you learn about DCC.

However, you will sooner or later want to or be required to do things the E-Z Command Control Center cannot do. Then you will have to buy a more capable DCC system or live with what you have.

In addition to other limitations, you cannot do most  things that requires programming a CV (Configuration Variable). Example you cannot,
Reset the decoder's CVs to their factory default value
Select a different whistle sound or effect
Select a different lighting effect
Tune the motor performance
Many, many more

Terry,
How do you reset a decoder's CVs to their factory default value when circumstances make it necessary to do so?

I see there is a "bug" in the Speech to Text software. Placed sale instead of sell.   ;D

BobZ --- The E-Z Command ® Dynamis ® Handset (36507) is a component of the E-Z Command Dynamis Wireless Infrared Digital Command Control System. The Handset is useless without the other system required components.

E-Z Command Dynamis Wireless Infrared Digital Command Control System was replaced years ago by Dynamis Ultima DCC system, which Bachmann Trains in the USA does not sale sell. It is available from Bachmann Europe Plc
