I tried the road numbers and nothing but tried #3 again and I got both engines to get the lights to turn on with the headlight button however nothing else will work. No movement at all when i move the wheel up or down.
The brand of decoder doesn't really matter. Your Power Cab should be able to any manufacturer's decoder.
Did you try the locomotive number on the side of the cab? That's what a majority of modelers use for their decoder address. If address 3 doesn't work then I would try that one next.
Lastly, do the lights turn on and off when you press the Headlight or "0" button on address 3?

Time...It marches on...without ever turning around to see if anyone is even keeping in step.
Both of them I just tried again using number 3 and i get the lights to come on when i hit the headlight button but I get no movement.
tstage Did your Power Cab come with a manual? If not, you can download one from the NCE website. Also, did you try operating either of the locomotives on address "3"? If neither works on "3" or the cab address, you can always reset the decoders to factory settings then program it to whatever address you want. Tom

Hey guys. So I purchased a used lot off someone. He never had it set up except to test it all out and assured me everything works perfectly. With it came 2 atlas engines with decoders already installed and an NCE Power Cab. I have everything hooked up but am trying to program these engines to the Power Cab. Does each decoder have a specific code or ID number? If so how do I find out what they are? If not how the heck do I get this to recognize these engines? Thanks!
