2 steam DCC questions
Posted by climaxpwr on Sunday, November 29, 2009 9:21 PM

I picked up 2 steam engines at a train show today.  One is a Broadway Paragon PRR K4, works on DCC, doesnt do anything on DC.  I know you can lock out the dual mode feature.  What CV is it so I can turn the duel mode back on?  I need the duel mode right now.   I also picked up a late run Proto 2K NKP  Berk with mars light, but no DCC/Sound.   The mars does its proper flashing thing.  Will puting a simple TCS decoder in mess this up?  Or am I going to have to go the full sound route with either QSI Revolution or Tsunami to keep the mars working?   Thanks in advance.  Mike

Programme CV29 with a value of 38 in the Paragon K4s.

I am sorry, but I won't be able to help with your other question.

Thanks for the programing tip, I am taking the K4 to a buddies house with Digitraxx and decoder pro and will correct the CV so she will run in duel mode again.  Thanks  Mike.
