Hi there.I'm a real newbie to dcc and although I've managed to install a decoder into a train and get the train to run, I'm having trouble with making the light come on in a factory installed loco. I bought a Bachmann loco and the documentation that came with it says the light function is programmed into the decoder at function 10. Now, I have the NCE powercab and from the documentation that came with it, it says that the light button on the controller is pre-programmed to function 0. I find the powercab information in the manual a little hard to understand. Can I change the decoder's function of f10 to somehow be aligned with the light button on the controller?? And if this is possible how do i do it? So far I have not been able to turn on the light in the loco at all. Can anyone advise on how I can turn this function on? I'm guessing I need to programm the functions. How do i do this? Thanks for your time and patience.cheersDean
