Hi,
Finally got the Easy DCC installed. Placed the MTH 28882 Erie on the tracks, programmed the Controller and the train ran; however the was no lights, sounds or smoke. I ran through the trouble shooting steps but that didn't help.
So, I disconnected the DCC power supply, hooked up my old DC power supply and voila, it runs with lights, sounds and smoke.
If anyone has this configuration and has been able to get the engine to function properly, I'd appreciate some advice.
Thanks,
Jonathan
You need to know which function keys turn the various items such as the headlight on and off. With the EasyDCC you would then need to press the FUNCTION key followed by the number key to turn that function on. For example, on nearly every NMRA DCC compatible decoder (but not MTH's DCS) the 0 key turns the headlight on and off, 1 rings the bell, and 2 blows the whistle/horn. MTH does their own thing as far as function key assignments are concerned, so you'll have to consult their instructions.
