    I go away for a week, come back and your ALL still discussing the Canopy Nudging thing, just brilliant to see such humour and matched by equally excellent photography Kevin.

    I think there are still one or two canopy nudging kits left in the shops with the free book 'Nudging for Beginners ':crazy_mini:

    Genesis SD60E Decoder problem

    in DCC Help & Questions

    Posted · Edited by stock_2007

    I e-mailed ATHEARN'S help line and their reply was very quick, they say to activate all of the light functions I should be looking for a decoder with at 'least' 8 functions and that a decoder with 6 functions would be unable to access the full accessory lighting features... shame its not in the manual.

    I almost got to the end of the article I'll finish it latter when my head stops hurting, I'll also look through the traders sites see if anything is recommend sadly the Athearn paper work is not a lot of help. As my layout run's DCC its something I'll need to figure out, by the looks of it the new Genesis and the Athearn RTR locos fitted with LEDs all need a 21 pin chip even their reworked RTR SD40-2 is fitted with LED lights:crazy_mini:

    Genesis SD60E Decoder problem

    in DCC Help & Questions

    Posted · Edited by stock_2007

    I have a new Athearn Genesis SD60E which I'm trying to fit with a decoder this is my second SD60E the first one is awaiting a wiring repair! Anyway the new unit works fine on DC with all the lights working (LEDS) but on fitting the decoder only one ditch light out of four would work, all the other lights worked ok. I've tried two 21 pin decoders a Gaugemaster OMNI and I think the other one was by Dapol but both are the same, in the loco manual it says 'install decoder of your choice' would anyone have any ideas what the problem could be. I've put it back to DC and all the lights work fine.

    The loco its self ran great on both DC & DCC

    I've just come across a really good book called 'The Art of Canopy Nudging' it is only 3 pages long but it clears up a lot of things I've wondered about for a long time.

    That's my last word on nudging as its starting to get silly:crazy_mini:

    ATHEARN GENESIS SD60E Repair

    in USA & Canadian Railroads

    Posted

    I've not had to do this before so I don't really know where to look but sadly I was in such a rush to fit a chip to my SD60E and it looks like I may have damaged a part of the wiring as I can not get the lights to work I've changed the chip but still no joy. I wondered if anyone knew of a shop or the like who repairs things for people who do not have a clue themselves :crazy_mini:
