I’m new to DCC, and need some help. I have a MRC Tech 6 Controller 2.0 (2 Amps) with the Tech 6 walk around, hand-held controller, and a Bachmann E-Z Command controller. I realize neither of these are very sophisticated, and are beginner DCC boxes. I bought a Hornby R3803TTS Harry Potter Hogwart's Castle 5972 Steam Locomotive (TTS sound) from a British vendor. My problem is that I can’t get the little loco to move. I put it on my test track and tried both controllers. The headlight on the locomotive comes on with both controllers, so I know it’s getting electricity. However, it won’t move or make any sounds. The MRC handheld tells me that it is on address 3, so that’s OK. There are no noises coming from the little engine - no buzzing, humming, nothing.
First question: Is your locomotive programmed to address "3"...or, to the cab number?
