 Hi all,
A friend "lost" two USA passenger coaches while they were still in their boxes.  When we found them they had fallen behind a small bar fridge and the heat from the back of the fridge had done the same type of damage leaving the coaches beyond repair.

Hi All,
Has anyone taken photos of the event?  I could not attend but would be interested to see or hear how the first event went after the lock down period.
Regards,

Hi Ed and Niel,  Thanks for the replies.
I do not know of a PR3/4 nearby, I am in Claremont CT.

The Atlas booklet with the loco states it is equipped with ESU LokSound Select sound decoder and the Atlas booklet includes information as the ESU 30 October 2013 quick start guide version 1.5 for ESU firmware version 4.7.9148.

I have had another attempt to read back CV 7&8 without any luck.

I switched the DCS 100 to O/G to get more power on the tracks. Under Po mode on the main track (not programming track) both the front and rear lights came on dimly for a short time but CV 8 would not reset to the factory settings.  The loco does have has a reed switch and there is a magnetic wand in the Atlas box but there is no response on trying to factory reset.
Regards,
Mike

DCC Forum (Digital Command Control) / ESU LokSound decoder problem
« on: August 27, 2020, 11:18:04 AM »
I have an Atlas Gold series SD 24 with factory fitted ESU LokSound decoder (Guide book dated October 2013).  After storage for some months the loco now refused to respond to any attempt to get it to run even after many attempts to factory reset the CVs both with the magnetic wand and on the programming track with my Digitrax DCS 100 and DT 400 system.  I have tried all four of the possible programming modes and to read back of CV values and only get a "Fail" messages.  I did get the lights to flash once in the direct programming mode while trying to confirm the read back of the ESU ID no.151 in CV 8.
Is there anyone who is familiar with ESU decoder fault finding?
Regards,
Mike.
