Thanks David, worked like a charm. Back up and fully operational. I suspect the culprit is the famous Atlas turnouts shorting when the loco comes across the two rail points next to the frog, I noticed a couple of other locos stopping and restarting at a couple of frogs but their decoders were able to reset. A grinding I will go!
Does this also work with NCE decoders or any others? Is this a problem with Tsunami decoders? If it is it looks like QSI may be the way to go!
Thanks Again!
I'm trying the 4 digit address as thats what I had used before but I will also try the 2 digit. Hence my problem, I'm using MRC and MRC's programming track does not have enough voltage to the programming track to use, program or read back on the programming track so I'm stuck programming on the main track.
You might also try putting it on the programming track and try reading the ID and see what no. comes up. I've seen some situations where a decoder gets it's ID no. changed to something odd for no apparent reason.
CPbuffStill won't move even on the now 0003 address?
Thanks, David. I did the CV8 to 8 and the loco jumped a little bit ahead. Also the front and rear lights flashed the 16 times as per the manual. Still won't move even on the now 0003 address?
I have a Tsuanmi- 1000 in a Mikado 2-8-2 which has been running great since it's install 6 months ago! Yesterday I backed some cars into the yard and after working on the cars on my bench (about 2hours) Power shut off, I returned them back to the 2-8-2 but the 2-8-2 wouldn't run.
I still have full sound capability and it still responds to it's programmed address, so I pulled it apart assuming a broken wire but all is Ok and I have good pilot light and no fault lights so all looks OK!
The only thing that has changed now is that I can't get a headlight and I only get the backup light in both forward and reverse. Both worked fine before!
Are we looking at doing a CV8 to 8 reset? or is there something else I may be missing?
