Trainman203, To answer your question on if it is an older decoder I wouldn't know due to I just bought it back in July. I am looking into getting a booster for my main layout for starters.

Fred Klein I am running an NCE system will that work as well?

You are correct and that is what I thought.

I tried your suggestion on resetting back to factory settings and My Power cab "can't read the CV value". If you have another suggestion that would be great. I am going to try it on my main track and I will make sure all the other engines are off the layout.


Just also some more information I tried on the main line an no results. This could be because I don't have power to the track even though my Power Cab shows it on.

One question I have once we reset it back to Factory can I set the engine number to a 3 digit number like 714?

Your not alone. I have the same problem with one of my engines. I did write to Bachmann to find out what type of board is on mine and if I need to send it in due to a bad board.

Just for info, I did put the 1k ohm resistor across the rails and did get some information on the family but they were coming up the EZ command section within JMRI. I don't think my layout is lacking power since I have other engines that run without any problems for the most part.

As for the comment for putting it in for spare parts, I would have to say Not when you spend #160 for the engine.

If you have any suggestion please let me know.

Thank you.

Hello all, I just bought a Bachmann EMD SD40-2 with DCC onboard but when I try to get JMRI to view it I am either getting a 308 where the program doesn't see it or when it does it doesn't see the correct MFG of the decoder and then I get a 254 code plus it goes to ez-command listing. Does anyone know how I not can get it to run but also see the right decoder?

Thank you.

Rich ty, I will keep on working at it. I have another decoder on the way so I might try that one vers the E-Z Command decoder.

HUnt, I just got into DCC last year but was doing my homework before I bought my NCE Power Cab.

As far as my engines one is Factory installed and the other isn't. One thing that does bother me is that I am unable to find out what type of decoder
that the one from the factory is. I have tries reaching out to Barchmann but no answer. I will try setting them address 3 and see what happens.

Could someone please explain to me why I am not able to get two barchmann engines to work together. One decoder is an E-Command and the other is an unknown at this time.
I have tried spreading them as much as 3 FT apart but nothing happens. Both JMRI and NCE will take both consist but only one is working and that is my lead engine.

Thank you for any advice that you can give me.

Rich ty on the first part of my question.

And on the second part I should have been much clearer and that is the bluetooth working with the E Z app?

My gutt feeling is that it has to be able to see it.

I just bought a NEW 16x25x5mm 1 amp decoder for one of my engines and I was wondering how can I reset all the CV's back to Factory setting?

Also do most barchmann decoders need to have a bluetooth in the programming.

Thank you
