There are two known bugs associated with the projects listed above. Projects not
listed above are not known to exhibit these issues:
Bug 1
When programming on the main line, some CV changes are not stored in memory, and
will revert back to their factory setting when the track power is interrupted.
SOLUTIONS:
There are 2 solutions to work around this issue:
-
Program on the program track. This problem does not occur on the program track
or with any systems like JMRI that use the program track.
-
Program on the main line a second time, preferably with the locomotive
stopped. When a CV changes, you will hear an uncoupling sound to indicate the
new value entered was different from the stored value. You should always hear
this sound the first time a CV is changed. When you attempt to set the value
the second time, you should not hear the sound if the first attempt was
successful. If you still hear the sound, try to set it again until the sound
is not heard.
Bug 2
This only occurs when using some versions of Digitrax DCC systems. This does not
affect DC users, or anyone using NCE, MRC, Digitrax Zephyr or any other
systems. The issue is that when running more than one locomotive at the same
time, you may lose the ability to control the locomotive. It may stop or change
directions or otherwise become unresponsive to DCC commands.
SOLUTIONS:
If you experience
these problems please call our service department at 386-673-8900 (available
between 1-4pm EST, M-F). We can either send you a
replacement circuit board, or you can return the locomotive to Broadway Limited
for repair free of charge.
