WalthersTurntable question???
Posted by Trainzman2435 on Friday, October 16, 2020 11:48 AM

Hello all, just a quick question for you guys that have the Walthers 130' turntable....When you remove power from the unit and then repower it...Do you get the flashing code of 03 meaning you need to rehome it? On mine anytime i rehome and then use the unit, i unplug the power when i am finished. When i plug the power back into it i get the little circling motion then the flashing 03 error....Is this normal or should i get the last programmed track when i repower the unit? Thank you guys!

A lot of people skip over posts with vague titles.   Edit it and put Walthers Turntable in the title of the thread and everyone who ever owned one will read your post.

I have the 90' model. I turn everything off when I leave the train room (all the power plugs are shut down with the light switch). When I repower it, the turntable acts as if nothing happened. It stays on the last programmed track where I left it before shutting everything off. It will require a calibration from time to time, but that happens maybe once every 10 sessions. I use DCC if that makes a difference.

It's been a few years since mine was used - after disassembling a large layout, I had no use for it on the smaller one I built a few years later, but as I recall it did NOT require re-homing every thime I turned the power on.

I have mine hooked up to track power and it picks up right where it left off when the power is shut off and then turned back on. 

Clean the contacts under the TT, the rings and prongs (carefully) with alcohol. That is a source of problem for me.
