Start-up
When I apply power to the
track my engine doesn't do
anything. No lights, no
sound, no nothing.
Sound
I have no sound on my
engine, but my lights are
on and it moves just fine
There's a crackling sound
from my tender
When I run Doppler I can
hear the Doppler shift but
then the engine sounds
fade out and I can't get
them back
Smoke
My engine isn't smoking at
all
My engine barely smokes
DCC
Did you press F3 yet? F3 on your DCC
handheld will start your engine up.
Check to see if that section of track has
power. Use a voltmeter or a lit passenger
car, not your tongue.
Slide the engine a couple of feet in either
direction, you may have a bad track
section
Have you got that section electrically
isolated with a toggle switch or other
device?
You may have it turned off. Repeatedly
press F7 to cycle through the volume
levels (there are 9 levels, 0-max)
Check to see if a screw or some other
material hasn't lodged itself in the
underside of the tender.
This is normal. You will need to press the
F12 button again to turn Doppler off.
Your engine sounds will now return to
normal
Make sure you've got the smoke switch
ON. It must be ON for the smoke to
operate in DCC mode
Press F8 on your DCC handheld. This
will activate the smoke
Check the Tender/Boiler drawbar
connection. You've got to have them
locked together
If you just filled it with smoke fluid
sometimes the fluid can make a seal in
the stack blow down the stack to clear
the air bubble.
You may have set the smoke to Low.
F17 will vary the smoke levels. Or, if you
were running it in DCS mode you may
have toggled it there (If you don't have
F17 on your DCC handheld you will have
to put it back into DCS mode and change
it from there)
