I've got two decoders that this has happened to. NCE D13SR basic 3 function decoders. Both locos worked on DCC last time I used them a few days ago. I did, however, put them on the programming track (to read all their CVs, and load into the pooter) before I put them on the main to use them...

**has camera ready this time** :thumb: Yep... here it comes..... I can see it comin' down them tracks........ but I reckon I could get a better shot from just over there. **points** --------> **picks camera up....... trips over rock and tripod collapses** AAAHHHHHHRRGGGGHHHH...

I knew I read about it somewhere. About having DC sections of track with DCC operations. It's with TCS decoders. From http://www.bromsgrovemodels.co.uk/TCSDecoders1.htm It doesn't really address green_elite's original question, but does indicate legitimate use of a combination of DC...

Gary, to "quote" you just click the "quote" button down the bottom right of the post, then edit the post accordingly. :thumb: It copies in the post you are replying to to, and you can slot your own comments in where needed. :wave:

The answers about me?

Just out of curiosity, and to determine who is doing what, I've got a few "survey" type questions of others. And to get a general idea of who is up to what, specially when it come to using a computer with DCC. Just reply with "quote" and slot your answers in after the questions would be...

Agatheron, You may have a couple of other settings "wrong way round" on the loco that wants to go the wrong way in your consist, even though you've set that loco consist config as "reverse when in consist". It may be going in reverse + reverse = forward. :) Check out CV 19. That is the...

Dick, Then something is up. I can't get it NOT to work with anything "player" I throw it at. Are you on Windows XP with SP2 applied? Did you try to "right click" on the link in the post and "open in new window"? You mentioned you got "hundreds and hundreds of pages of jargon". Was that...

Dick, you have a wrong setting in your computer. Firstly, did it give you the opportunity to "open" or "save" the download? Try the "save" option and place it in a folder that you know where it is. (you may have done this already). Next. go to the file, and "right click" on it, and...

Should have entered it in this month's photo comp. Dunno if videos are allowed, but. sign1

I'd frame that one and put in on the wall. :thumb:

Ohhh... quick!!! here comes another one!! **fumbles in bag for camera** Damn thing's not turned on... **fumbles with on/off knob** be quick.... focuses... zooms in.. zooms out.... Damn..... forgot to take the lense cap off. :curse: :cry: Have to wait for the next one now...

Here's a cuppla videos of Garahbara. I've posted their links in the video forum thread, but thought I'd put the here too, in case they got missed in the other thread. NSW Govt Railway 8028 leads a freight through Garahbara cutting. Video 1 3.66 MEG download and Australian National Budd...

Here we go. :D Better resolution and length etc: movie 1 2.5 MEG and anothery. :) (different movie) movie 2 3.66 MEG They were both done with a little mini-cam (sugar cube sized wireless one) into a receiver, into the video-in plug of a video capture card on the pooter...

If I recall correctly, and I'm pretty vague on this, but I read in my DCC command station and decoder info that there is a specific function (to do with signalling) that allows you to have sections of DC track. There is a CV for "DC detect" (or something like that) that is used for some purpose...

Just an update on the JMRI stuff. Have now got into it a bit more, and decoder programming, and I'll probably not use my cab controller for it again. It'll be pooter only from now on. :thumb: Wack the loco on the programming track and "read" ALL... yep. ALL the CVs at once. Have them ALL...

Dunno what's best for you and I suppose that is a decision for yourself. But for my first decoders I went for the pretty basic ones first. I have a NCE system, so just went with their basic 3 function (front/rear headlight and single function) decoder (no plug, just wires), and wired them into...

Guys, Just did my first video clip. It's a bit "dumbed down" to meet size, resolution and download requirments etc, but see what youse reckon. My Australian National Budd Railcar (circa 1970) leaves the workshop for the first time after a refit. I'll put a better resolution one...

A pic from my collection. A Victorian Railways DERM from circa 1964. Boy were these things bumpy to ride in. sign1

Not yet, David. I need a web server, and appropriate web based software, but there's nothing technical or impossible stopping it happen. :) Plus I'm on dialup, so the frame rate that you'd get would be pretty slow, if I did set it up that way. :) But there's nothing to say it can't be done...
