Try setting CV5 at 120 and CV6 at 80.

Try setting CV2 to 0. What are CVs 5 and 6 set to?

What is the current output of the ECOS to the track?

Do you have this problem with any other locos?

What make is the loco? You need to consider carefully whether a decoder reset is possible without affecting the sound project installed. It would be advisable to consult the documentation that came with the sound decoder or, if that isn't available, the retailer you bought it from before carrying ou...

Fantastic! A relief that it wasn't anything more serious. I often find that problems like this that are reported have a simple solution, but most initially blame the technology!!

Well the problem is clearly not with the PowerPro, so it is something wrong with the layout. I'm sure it is something simple!! Have you made any changes at all to the trackwork or wiring since you last used it? You haven't left a screwdriver across the tracks by any chance???? Go for the obvious fir...

See if it will control your locos - the short piece of track is now your main.

But can you use the short piece of programming track as the main, i.e. connect the output from the PowerPro to that piece of track. I'm trying to ascertain whether the problem is with the unit or with the layout!

Have you (a) adequately run in the motor (30 minutes in each direction should do) and (b) checked the model is correctly lubricated?

Just connect the interface into the cab bus from the SB3a using either a flat or curly cable - either will work.

Just to clarify, the latest versions of the PowerCab have a recall stack of 6, the same as other NCE systems. Those who have bought the PowerCab during the last 2 years and have registered with NCE should get a free upgrade. Those who have older systems but have also registered should also get notif...

Well, retail part of the site has now closed. I would like to thank all of our customers for their purchases over the years and wish everyone a happy and prosperous future. I will be making some changes to the rest of the site over the next few weeks, so apologies in advance if you can't easily find...
