HO / 2-6-6-2 with vandy tender and DCC/sound
December 12, 2020, 01:26:24 PM
I am replacing the orange 4 pin connector plug between the decoder and the engine. Several of the existing wires have broken off so I don't know the order to attach the wires to the decoder. I attached the wires in line from the decoder to the pins and only get movement forward and reverse, no lights or sound. I reversed the wiring order and get nothing. Does anyone or Mr. Bachmann know the correct attachment of these wires ?
by the way I'm using the white universal replacement plug since the orange ones are not available But I don't think that should make any difference.
Thanks in advance for for any help.  John West

Using digitrax system with a Sprog interface for a JMRI programer.
If I assign a single digit address of 1 through 9 loco will start to move at speed step 1. Any 2 digit address will delay start movement until speed step 12. The speed at step 12 is not as fast as step 12 with a single address but equal to step 4 using single digit address. I've done a comparison of all the CVs of both addresses and nothing other than the address has changed.
The easy fix would be to assign a single digit address. I have 20 other locos all with 2 digit addresses so it will be confusing to have one engine with a single digit address.
Has anyone else experienced this, and if so, how did you resolve it?
Thanks, John West
