General Discussion / Re: DCC troubles
March 10, 2026, 02:04:42 PM
I have a new Bachmann RS3 engine DCC ONBOARD But it will not program to factory set code of 3 but will program to the cab number of 8601 but only the light function  will work , no horn sound, no bell sound.
I am using an NCE DCC system.If I try and program the engine to factory set code of 3 , nothing happens, it will not run, but set to cab number 8601, it will move forward and reverse and the headlight turns on and off with the headlight button on my NCE controller.
I have used "Program on track using  the CV numbers and values for the horn and bell but nothing works. The engine does run forward and reverse programmed to the cab number and the headlight can be turned on and off, also direction button works but  no horn or bell sound.
Trying the CV numbers and values for he horn and bell also doesn't work.

Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations?
I have no idea what decoder is in the RS3 as I have not taken the shell off of it.
