I have an older FT-A Locomotive, marked DCC On-Board. It is functioning exactly as it should and has been addressed the say way I address all my DCC locomotives. It responds to all the typical commands provided it by my MRC Command System. That is all the good news. Now the bad news. I actually have no idea where and how I acquired this. When going to DCC from Analog, I bought up a lot of locomotives with the intent to evaluate and potentially upgrade. I am now looking to bring this one on-line. it actually is a powerfull little unit and heavy enough to drag a lot of cars.
The problem is I can not find any manuals for the programming. The board in there is motive and light control only. It appears there is a space for a rear light so I would imagine that is easy enough, but would love to program a start voltage. The decoder is marked per the subject as RoHS H601X#PCB01 Rev-A. I can only assume that there was a manual for programming when it was originally sold, but I can not find this on any of the general discussion boards or on the support sections for bachman.
I originally thought of installing a keep alive, and a sound board, but really no room in the cab for either. Now thinking of installing a keep alive and a sound only decoder to a special sound card behind the locomotive. Please dont ask the typical question of "Why the Heck would I do that" of "Why would you not just pull the whole board and install a better, more recent sound board". The answer is simple, I enjoy the making and the doing of it. It is a hobby and I want to make it work.
Any help pointing me to info on this board would be greatly appreciated. I believe the board is a Lenz made for Bachman.
