Digitrax...is it me or the instruction manual?

I have a Digitrax Chief system DCS100 command station. I had no problem running a non-decoder equipped DC loco on address 00 when I attempted it. <br />The motor made a buzzing sound due to the DCC, but I expected that to occur. <br />(All DCC systems would cause this buzzing on non-DCC locos) <br /> <br />You didn't mention specifically what steps you did to assign the loco. <br /> <br />On Digitrax, after you turn on the power to the command station, you then have to turn on track power using your throttle. The green light should cone on on the command station. Once Track power is on, you can assign a loco address to the throttle. Please note that the Digitrax DT300 and DT400 throttles are actually two throttles in one (Left and Right knobs on top of throttle). Pressing one of these knobs before assigning a loco will select which one you will be assigning the loco to. <br /> <br />It takes a little practice to get get familar with it, but after a while, it becomes second nature to assign locos to throttles. <br /> <br /> <br />I hope this helps. <br /> <br />Dale B. <br />
