Last week a couple of members of my train club bought a Prodigy DCC system and a Train with a MRC decoder in it to use. They asked me to hook it up and show them how it worked because I had been doing some reading on DCC. Well between taking care of derailed trains by my kids and hooking up the DCC I finally got it working. I had the DCC train running with a non DCC train and demonstrated how you could have different speeds/ turn on and off the lights and so on , everyone was happy. Well this week I come in to the club and immediately on arrival people came to me with a few problems. The non -DCC trains were running extremely slow on the track with the DCC box at full throttle, I went over and checked it out and it definitely seems the case. Also when you brought an engine to a stop it would just sit there and hum with its light on even though the throttle was zero, the only way to make it stop was to shut off the DCC. Anyone come across this or know a solution? Unfortunately I didnt have a choice of the DCC so I'm pretty much have to work with what was given to me. Thanks for your help in advance. <br /> <br /> Orion <br />
