WOW 121 JMRI Error 308?
Posted by johnnyrails on Sunday, July 2, 2017 7:14 PM

Hello all,

I'm  trying to program  the TCS WOW 121 with  Decoder Pro.

I keep getting error message 308 , locomotive not responding?

Seems like some CV'S are being programmed, and others not?

Am I missing something?

In the one instance  I got a 308 message it turned out the decoder (qsi) was fried.  I hope that's not the case in your situation .

I hate to admit this but I have a lot expeirnce with the infamous 308. It means one of two things 1 - dirty track track or wheels or 2.-not enough voltage for the JMRI interface such as PR3.

Thanks Moe, 

I replaced the power supply with a 18vdc from Radio Shack,  

It's  working fine now...
