Rog RJ Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 We really need a bit more information to be able to help with this. Have you got any other locos, if so, do they work.? Have you just converted to DCC or is it a completly new layout? When you say you have given it a new number, what number have you given it? Did you connect the Elite via the "Prog" terminals whilst programming? Did you hear any clicking from the Elite? Have you tried to run it as number 3? What model is it?Rog :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon60 Posted June 5, 2011 Author Share Posted June 5, 2011 the whole layout is brandnew as is the loco (only have one ) gave it the number 9 as shown in youtube clip the red light comes on when programed and makes a low pitch click have done track and program terminals Rog (RJ) said: We really need a bit more information to be able to help with this.

trainlover23 Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Surleey you must know if the loco is at least DCC fitted or not????????????????. What set is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bocaj Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Check the box first if you don't know if it is DCC Fited or not. It will say if it is or not. Also check when you put it on the track to run it if their is a high pitched sound coming from it. If their is it will mean it is not DCC fitted and you will need to fit a chip to the locomotiveBechio has done it again for leeds, right into the top corner, Leeds have won the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

37lover Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Simon60, Never mind, perhaps you could say what set you have and the loco to answer a few earlier requests. People on here are very helpful but the task is much harder if you don't give sufficient details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonnyRailMan Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 It could be your loco is just DCC Ready & not DCC fitted, i did dial in one of my DCC Ready locos by mistake that the red light flashed at the end of programing but the loco just bussed.

58001 Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 In order to program the loco you must have had the track connected to the program sockets on the back of the elite. In order to run the loco you have to connect the track to the other pair of sockets (labelled track). The Elite will not drive the loco if connected to the program socket.

Rog RJ Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 I think a basic test may be needed here. Connect the wires from the Elite's track terminals to the track. With the Elite powered up, put a metal objject (a coin is ideal) on the tracks. Does the Elite show "error"--------------------------------------------------------------------Rog :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregd99 Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Simon, placing the coin across the tracks should have shorted out the elite and the elite would then report "error". this means that there is a lack of continuity somehere between the elite and the track. it is worth re-checking your connections at the elite and the track clip and anywhere in betweeen where you have joins. if this is all Ok then the problem could be that there is a broken connection internal to teh elite. if this is the case then it is "return to sender" time.
