HO / Re: Lighting a rocker switch
January 29, 2010, 08:27:34 AM
I hope all of you that see this post and helped me I want to say thank you. I just completed putting in 15 lighted rocker switches and they work great. Thanks for all the help.
I have just one more question on this subject: I just finished building my staging yard and I was wandering if you could use the lighted rocker switch and just have one rail insulated? Then us the lighted rocker switch to indicate if that track was hot. Thanks for any in put and help in advance. Larry

Mr Bachman,
I have four Bachman sharks that I got when they first came out. They all run except one. I had not run them until just recently and I could not get one to do anything. I reprogramed it on the program track and nothing. What do I do next? Is there anything I can check. I took the cover off and all the wiring seems to be ok and I saw no lose wires. Let me know what to check or reprogram or send it back in to be checked. Thank you. Larry
PS. Just got a PRR GP7 and it runs great. Do you have any other numbers?

Thanks Mr. Bachman that is what I needed. Can you help me with replacing the bulb in the Shark so it is a lot brighter? Larry

Mr. Bachman,
How do you totally clear an engine and get it back to its factory setting with a DCC equipped engine? Larry

How would you put a brighter light in the Shark? What kind of bulb would you use and and specific instructions for instillation?

What decoder would you all recommend trying to put in an N scale trolly?

I have no other engines, over fifty that have that same characteristic. I have several other Bachmans and none of them act like this going down a grade.

I can't believe I am the only one who has had problems with the Sharks. I bought four and everyone has a jerky motion when they go down a grade. Has no one but me have that problem?

I am building an N Scale coffee table layout and want to have a DCC N scale trolley. Does Bachman or anyone else make one that will run on DCC?

They work fine on a straight track but only when they go down a 2% grade do they have a jerky motion.

What CV settings should you put on the Shark for it to run smooth. I have three and they do not run very smooth. Is it a decoder problem? Just wandering what you all think. Thanks Larry

One more question please. Once I figure out which prong is the SWI can I then just jump a wire from rocker switch to rocker switch to all 15 rocker switches and can I do the same with the LG on each rocker switch and then from each LG to each track and the SWO to the other side of the track. Thanks as always. I am slowly getting it. Larry

Thanks Joe and everybody else who had input. I believe I can figure it out and if I have a problem I will ask again. Model Railroading is not only a great hobby but you learn so much even when you are in your mid 60's. Merry Christmas to all. Larry

Just one more question please,
Can one of you knowledgeable men draw me a illustration that takes me from my black and red wire bus to the rocker switch and then to the roundhouse track. I would sure appreciate it very much. Thanks Larry
