hello all

for some reason my trains just stop after running for about an hour - used to be a half hour. I have to press the stop button to restart the trains, which run for about a minute or two, then stop again. I let the trains sit for a few minutes and restart - all goes fine for a while.

does anyone know why and how to remedy the problem?

I am having trouble changing the address of locomotives - I followed the instructions in the sketchy manual and in a You Tube video presented by Bachmann - no luck! here is what I am doing:

[MENU] --   scroll to PROGRAM   [ACCEPT] – DID THIS
             --  scroll to WRITE ADDR 0003      - DID THIS
                 ON MAINTRACK        [ACCEPT] -  DID THIS (also tried this on service track setting)

Screen shows
                CHANGE ADDR LOC - OK
                 WRITE ADDR 3
[BKSP] to delete existing address
Use alphanumeric keys or joystick to enter new address up to 127 - DID THIS, tried 1, 11, 111 and 1111

CHANGE ADDR 0003 – DOES NOT SHOW
WRITE ADDR 68        – DOES NOT SHOW

There is no program, scroll or accept chooice - just X

The engin just sust sits dead on the track when I stry to run it, but the sound is on - but cannot blow the horn, turn on the lights, etc. I have to select the default address (3) to operate the engine.

Please someone HELP

Just an update - I believe that I was able to program the engine, somewhat - the engine slightly jerked when I removed the emergency stop and hit the track icon, program. When I turned off the Dynamis equipment and turned it back on, the train didn't move nor could the sounds be activated when a different  loco address was selected – the engine only made the idling sound – very good, the way it should work.
When I did operate the train under the programed address, it worked fine– very good, the way it should work. HOWEVER, the engine was then fully operable under any loco address I selected.
What is going on here?

I am having trouble changing the engine number of my 2nd engine on the EZ Command DCC control station - can anyone point me to a good detailed reference source that explains how to reassign the number (current default on both engines is 3)? Or can you explain the steps?

I would very much appreciate any input

I recently bought a Bachmann DCC starter set which came with the E-Z Command Dynamis control system and a decoder equipped DCC Turnout.

How in the world do you program and operate the darn thing - the instructions are at best, sketchy.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Does anyone know the part numbers for left & right non-DCC equipped turn-outs (self-isolating) and where I can obtain them?

Please let me know

Thanks

Doug
