I had the same problem. What cleans it for me is erasers from pencils. I even used the big 2 inch long erasers without the pencil part. and went over the whole track. I ran my loco in circles and when it slowed down I just passed my eraser over it and that was that! If it still wont come clean...

The track is brand new :P Note: Read replies, its fixed :P Thanks anyway

Oh... Well somehow When I was trying to program it, it returned the error D nd and still actually programmed the address into the loco. I changed it to 44 without know I actually succeeded... I wasnt able to read back the current address either receiving a D nd error. Some reason it finally...

Thanksssssss :)

Plaster looks too messy. What the thing with news paper? I never did it before but I assume you use glue water and newspaper.. Then maybe put grass n turf over it

Thanks guys for the help! Hey nazgul, thanks for coming. trainnut65 got me on yahoo messenger and helped me. I got it working. Thanks!!!

Yes, I created another piece of track to hook up to the prog terminals on the back.. And Yes, I moved the jumpers to digital mode (if i remember correctly, toward the front) Note: I ran it in DC mode for a few days. Could this screw it up somehow? What is the chance of it not being dcc ready (i...

Yes I tried to do that but I cant even run the train with factory settings.. Note: It runs in DC mode on my old DC powerpack..

thanks a lot :)

I didnt want to go to dcc forum they take too long to respond:oops: I got my zephyr today. I tried doing a readback of the trains address (factory set to 3) just to see if the decoder could be detected cuz it wouldnt run earlier. It got a "D nd" error, meaning the decoder couldnt be detected...

Mine runs fine, ive been running it for a few days it sems fine... Only problems I get are when the turnout points are pointing in wrong direction

I do want to add grass and dirt to my scenery, should I do that first?

I believe my next step is ballast if I am not mistaken. After wiring my track is ballast right? I am doing modern era freight trains. What is a good color, I think im looking towards a gray ish color, something not too dark but I dont know. I am open 100% to suggestions. What color/size etc...

Next time I make another layout whenever I will use peco thanks :)

It has lots of wiring cuz I have a bunch of turnouts above it, I soldered feeders to every one of them lol... Thanks!
