Hi all,

Thanks for inputs. Both locos have the same problem. I contacted vendor and they told me that this batch of Walther Mainline seemed to have this problem in DCC. So I returned the locos.

Hi there. Is it one or both locos that do that? If only one, try a reset. If both have similar behaviors, I would clean the track and check the track.

Try turning off the DC enable setting in CV29. That can quite often cause strange happenings when running in DCC only.

I will asume you are running on DCC. If so a short will cause that when a decoder only part way shuts down but reboots mid stream.

Walther Mainline sound Issue
Posted by hjQi on Saturday, September 24, 2022 2:23 PM

Hi,

I bought two Wlather Mainline SD70ACe with sound. The sound is ok iand the loco runs ok in general. But at some random locations on the track, the sound suddenly becomes a constant horn sound, and I lose the control of the loco from my throttle. The loco just runs at constant speed with a constant horn sound. Walther Mainline uses ESU sound decoders but I could not find any information regarding this problem. Does anyone have similar problem and know how to solve it?
