Hey all, <br /> <br />I am completely new to DCC so please, bare with me. <br /> <br />I have a newly purchased Bachmann DCC onboard equipped EMD FT A-unit diesel that I am trying to get programmed with my Zephyr. I managed to program my other Digitrax decoders ok, but I didn't get the manual when I bought this Bachmann engine and I am totally lost. I really only want to change 2 things for now, loco address, and lighting control. It seems that the front headlight is stuck on dim. On/Off works with f(0), but it just stays dim (unless that is just the way it is supposed to be). I'm hoping that I can change that so it is bright all the time instead of dim(default setting?) <br /> <br />I read a little about adding a resister to one of the programming track leads, but I'm still a little confused on that. Also, what programming mode should I use? Page, Dir, Ops,Phys? Page is the only one that I have used so far to change address on the Digitrax decoders, and that's about it. <br /> <br />I have no experience with editing CV's or even reading them for that matter, so please go slow... [:D] <br /> <br />Thanks for the help, <br />
