Dear List ,

One of our Cherry Valley club members have been experiencing some issues I will state below with his new Atlas GE Dash 8 loco w/ESU.

Issues are:

Horn and Bell staying on after command to stop.

Loco will continue to run after command to stop.(momentum is off)

The club member has had this loco back to Atlas twice and each time the Atlas tech stated no issues while at the factory.

Cherry Valley operates NCE DCC system and there are no other apparent issues with other locos on the layout.

We could use some thoughts from the 2 rail DCC pros on this forum.

BTW- Atlas has been great with there response to our member- so please no bashing of Atlas.

Thank you.

John

 

Original Post

Is there another locomotive at the club with the same DCC address?

Whenever I have an issue with an unresponsive locomotive with a LokSound decoder I reset CV8 to 8. This resets the decoder to factory defaults and assigns the ID to 3. If it still does not respond I have to place it on a program track to reprogram it. Most of the time I can program on the main with my NCE ProCab.
