LED question
I am looking some help with a LED. I am trying to replace the factory lights with LED's. I have the resistor soldered to the LED. I know that the LED has a pos and neg. The stock bulbs work, but the LED's don't. I was wondering if there is something keeping the LED from working on the factory light board. It is on a proto 2000 SD 9. Any ideas?

DCC equiped engines stalling on frogs
Ok i have three diesels two from atlas and one from intermountain they all have QSI revolution version 7 sound decoders in them, they work fine but for some reason the two atlas engines will stall on the frogs of my atlas code 100 number 6 turnouts but the intermountain and my other engines with different sound decoders in them travel right through the turnouts with no problem. I am running with a NCE power cab and JMRI. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Wiring a Digitrax PC42
I'm wiring a Digitrax PM42 (4 circuit breaker board) and want to know two things. First, what guage wire (stranded/solid) can I use to wire the 44-pin connector? Is 18 g solid sufficient for input and output? Seems the connector has some pretty small soldering tabs for much else. Wondering about signal loss/amperage capability. By the way, I'm using terminal strips to keep wiring organized. Secondly, instructions say to ground the unit to the booster case; however, I'm using an NCE Power Cab instead of Digitrax. What's a suitable ground therefore?
Thanks!
Bachmann RS3 N Scale problem
Hi everyone. I have an N Scale Bachmann RS3 loco that has died on me. It is code number 64252 - a DCC fitted loco. It has been running fine if a bit restrained in Its performance but today it ran away and I couldn't control it. Fortunately it was running light on an empty track so no damage was caused. I had to kill the power to the track to stop it. Since then it has been dead!
The loco came fitted with a composite board which enables it to be used on analog as well as digital systems. I use a Digitrax Zephry system.

A-Track - Your DCC Buddy for NCE Systems – Start-Up Guide
A few queries, from new users who have downloaded and installed A-Track, revealed that my ‘Getting Started’ Tutorial and User Guide are not yet quite good enough – they might explain WHAT the A-Track application can do but, unfortunately, they don’t tell you HOW to start using the program. Hence this little guide (which will be incorporated in the next update to A-Track).

Bachman HO 44 ton diesel-cracked gears
I have newly purchased (used) HO B'man 44 ton diesels...one is the two motor version and the other is a newer (not DCC ready) single motor. Both have cracked gears but run "ok". NWSL p/n 2695-6 is available with wheel/axle replacements for the two motor...NWSL doesn't know if these parts fit the single motor...does anyone on the forum know...?
MTH Loco Motor Control Using A Secondary Decoder
I have experience in DCC sound installations having completed approx two dozen locos using Tsunami decoders.
A problem I have is that my MTH SD70M-2 will not consist with these locos or others (QSI & Paragon 2) at my local Club.
