Great vid Guilford Guy! I got 2 Sountraxx DSD 101LC Sound Decoders & 2 speakers from Tony's Trains Exchange. Installin them in 2 Bachmann Berks.
PC, I'm very happy for your son!
Well, I was going to give everyone an update earlier today on my son's surgery this morning. I couldn't though because, though I can log on and read the forum from the hospital, I can't post. Anyways, the surgery was a success! He was in surgery from 9:30am til almost 5:00pm. They had some problems (they had trouble waking him up......a symptom of the MD), but he's through it and the prognosis is good. His feet are 90 degrees to his legs for the first time in his life. He'll have about 6 weeks in the casts and then 3 months in braces day and night, then two years of braces just at night. But my son will walk, and that wheelchair that they told him was only a decade away, ......it looks like he may never see it! Thank you God!
And thank you all for your prayers!
New management? Flo and Zoe are still here, aren't they? I sent Zoe my recipe for Sauerbraten last week and she promised to add it to the menu. Oh, BTW, Zoe, you don't have to bake an ENTIRE ginger cake to use in the sauce, you can just get a package of ginger cookies and crumble them up. But remember, Zoe, you've gotta marinate the beef for a WEEK. If it doesn't knock you across the room when you take it out of the 'fridge, then it isn't quite ready yet, okay?
Okay, now I feel better.

New Management, but I see we've kept the same helpful and proficient staff. Smart move! There's always Cousin Vinny to think about.
Ryan: It was with some trepidation that I posted the Billion thing including the N.O. references. I took it that the author was illustrating the mind blowing size of a Billion rather than jabbing at those who are rebuilding. Anyway, illustration was my intent in including that section, and I did realize that you, in particular, would feel somewhat closer to the situation than I, hence the trepidation. No offence meant.
Paul: He hasn't swung by yet, but we have a "resident" Paul already. Generally these duplications are solved geographically (CapeJim and OZJim spring to mind.) So..if you could let us know more or less where you are, we could get to know you as "xxxxJohn, perhaps.
also Bob...but that name seems somewhat familiar.
Have some soldering to do in the "back shop" having replaced the wheels of my VIA loco with NWSL thinner profile ones. I may have introduced some wobble, as this is N to begin with, and I don't have the right tools either. We shall see, once the trucks are re-soldered to the power wires, and I can test things out.
Goodnight all, and God Bless. I hope PC gets in with good news about his son's op. Prayers for all in need of healing, comfort and peace.

First question: Did you program it on the main line or on a program track. If you did it on a program track and it didn't work out try programming it on the main.
Second question: Did you reprogram any CV's. Those cheap Bachmann decoders tend to be really picky about that. Try a factory reset on it and see what happens. What do you have to lose. My thought on this is that the decoder is dead.
If it were my choice I would be getting a better type decoder for it. I prefer the Digitrax DZ125. It can ba hardwired in and is small enough (Z scale) that it can fit anywhere. I have a pair mounted in a pair of Athearn BB F7's and they're running good.
