The Calluminati Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Hi,I recently turned my DCC ready train into a DCC one and it keeps shorting out the controller and restarts the entire thing, also it plays up and isn't always responsive and I was just wandering if anyone had any advice (it works fine in Analogue mode)Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjb1961 Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 would it be possible for you to swap decoders with another train that you know is ok,that way you can determine if the decoder is faulty or the train ,I've got a loco that runs fine in Analouge but doesn't like dcc ,,,,,,,,martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poliss Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Check that the pins on the decoder haven't gone in too far and are shorting out on the chassis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainlover23 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Have you actually fitted a Chip into your loco? Just becuase it says DCC ready does not mean it has a chip fitted it means it is ready to take a chip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishmanoz Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Check your volume CV is on 1 please trainlover, I can hear you all the way over here. And I suspect The Calluminati's saying he's turned his DCC ready loco into DCC means he has fitted a decoder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
