<p>[quote user="harmony railroader"]</p> <p>New engine, new decoder (installed by pro)-programmed on NCE layout, but runs fine at club layout (digitrax). Won't run on home layout (also, digitrax with DCS200). Small layout (12X16). Other, older decoders (like digitrax, loksound, soundtraxx) in older engines, work fine. The new Wow decoder will not even display on my programming track. I put it on and check 4 digit program and it comes up with different numbers, not even close to the programmed engine number.</p> <div style="clear:both;"> </div> <p>[/quote]</p> <p>1. Is this the same locomotive from your previous post?</p> <p>I am not a Digitrax expert, but if your system is looking at the long address CV values, they will not be the 4 digit number programed on the NCE system. </p> <p><a href="http://www.digitrax.com/support/cv/calculators/">http://www.digitrax.com/support/cv/calculators/</a></p> <p>Above is a CV calculator. If you type in the address of the locomotive (that was originally programmed, it should spit out the correct values for CV 17 and 18. </p> <p>Are these the values that you are seeing on your 4 digit program?</p> <p>Was this locomotive placed into a consist at any point at the club? </p> <p>Do you have lights or sound on the locomotive and it just isnt responding or do you get nothing when you place it on the track?</p> <p> </p>
