QUOTE: Originally posted by stanames Neither your locomotive or system is faulty. Strangly enough this is how it should work but there is a simple fix. The Atlas locomotive decoder has two modes. In one mode the locomotive is silent, in the other mode the decoder uses a pulsed power that can get noiser as you increase the DCC track voltage. Some people can hear it and for othere is is masked. The solution is to program CV 50 to a value of 8. You will have to take the locomotive to a dealer or friend why can program these high CVs as the current backmann system can not. Once set for silent mode the problem you have will go away. Stan Ames
QUOTE: If that is so then why does it run ok on the Digitrax, the programming is the same, the DCC signal must be the same NMRA and all that[]. If it runs ok on the Digitrax and not the Bachmann, then my brain []tells me it's the controller.
QUOTE: Guys, I'm getting a little confused with all the DCC Speak and you haven't even really gotten into it yet. Anyway, here is what I can tell you. With the jumper in the DCC Mode, I can not program the decoder to address 10. I think a separate analog controller is needed to do that.
QUOTE: When I move the jumper in the loco back to analog operation, as soon as I plug the system into the wall outlet there is, not a buzz, but a squeal. In the analog mode the loco will only run at address 10, which if I have read the instructions correctly, is what it is supposed to do.
QUOTE: Originally posted by rayw46 I have tried to contact Atlas, but it takes a while. The locomotive is an Atlas Master Locomotive Series model that I purchased about 2 years ago. Although I haven't been able to try some to the things suggested, you guys have been a lot of help. I do appreciate it. Ray
