 True but maybe his loco is cab number 43. Or 103.

34 is the most common with 28/128 speed steps and 4 digit addressing.

Disable DC operation by programming a value of 34 into CV 29.  That way, the locomotive will operate only on DCC and will not move unless you specifically address it and turn up the throttle.

 

34? You need to know what the values do before using them. The manual should describe exactly what the different values represent in CV 29.

 Disable analog function in CV 29. That usually does the trick.

Loco creeps on powered track
Posted by Ed Whichard on Saturday, March 13, 2010 7:35 PM

I recently purchased a DCC ready Walthers Proto 2000 locomotive.  The hobby shop where it was purchased supplied a plug-in Bachmann decoder which I installed.  The locomotive creeps in reverse whenever there is power on the track.  The only way I can prevent the creep is to select the loco with a throttle and set speed to zero.  Any thoughts?
