  1. Here's how I put a Stay Alive in this. Made the world of difference! http://yourmodelrailway.net/view_topic.php?id=16644&forum_id=99
  2. FYI. DCCConcepts knows about this issue (losing the address) there are some motors that have the wrong components in them and they will fix them for you.
  3. Ha....I thought that was just showing the IP address of the handset, Doh. All working great now, thanks everyone for the help!!! I love the Digikeijs system and am running it with 80 Railcom detectors and Traincontroller....next is the turntable control.....
  4. Good catch (not sure why it didn't update when changing from Loconet)....But still no connection (I restarted everything after setting the correct port)
  5. Yes, they are both connected to the DR5000 WiFi and have its address 192.168.16.254 set
  6. For some reason I can't get my Z21 App or Z21 controller to work with DR5000. I have set it all up as required (see image) and they do connect to the Wifi OK...but just not the system....Any ideas ? Thanks Eddie
  7. Here's a link to my Class 13, thanks for the inspiration ! http://yourmodelrailway.net/view_topic.php?id=15254&forum_id=171&jump_to=275085#p275085
  8. Yes those components will work, for the capacitor you should go with a 25v as the 16v gets a little warm although still within spec (just) I have used anything from around 470uf up to 6000uf. The smaller gives barely any stay alive but does make a difference and worth it for small spaces. The larger ones can give a few seconds.My (home made) Class 13 only has 600uf and can now go over even the trickiest point work. I spoke with the guy at Ultrascale and he's making a set of wheel for me that match the different sizes and that 2.5 axle....he said they may take 8 months to deliver though ;-/ I'll post back once its all done.
  9. Great article on the Class 31, I'm going to do some of these mods on my one. I thought I'd post some details on putting a stay alive and better speaker in it, as I couldn't find any other posts about this online. The positive connection to the decoder is easy (Blue wire) but the negative is at the end of one of the small diodes and very hard to solder to without damaging the board. Luckily I traced it back to a better/larger point on the other side of the board. With this connected the loco runs over complicated point work without staling now. I've been using this brand of speakers in my locos for a while. They are the same as used bluetooth speakers and very bassy. They don't work for all locos though for instance my HST didn't sound at all right but in my Class 31's they are great. You have to make sure all the wires are stuck down though as it can rattle its that good.

Might give these ago https://www.ultrascale.uk/eshop/products/view/CAT007/414
  10. I have around 30 Cobalt IP Digital motors and for the most part they work fine....but 2 of them that lose their address about once a week. So annoying as I use Traincontroler software and the first I know about it is when there's a crash. I spoke to DCC Concepts and they just blamed my wiring...but I have changed it 3 times now with the last a direct line from the Lenz unit.
  11. Hi, Can I ask you how you have found the DCC4PC block detector with traincontroller, does it pass the loco data to the software OK ? Thanks in advance
