Brush47337 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 searched but can't find an answer sorry (mods) if this is a repeat question my friend has given me a Bachmann sound fitted 37 that decided to change it's address motor AND sound were on address 3 as supplied by Bachmann after 3 months use.......... motor is still 3 but sound functions only respond if address 6 is dialled. as you can imagine - not much fun having to change between movement commands and sound commands. I have offers to try and fix it - before I poke it with my big fat fingers can I ask if this is a known problem or if any DCC experts on here know where I should start thanks in antici.......................... pation.

Dieselbob Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Hi Stuart Before you stick your fingers in. Reset to factory settings first. Set CV8 to value 08 you will probably have to do it on the program track because of the two different addresses. Cheers Bob Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HLT 0109 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Doing as Bob says should reset the address to 3. If so, it might be a good idea then to set it to something else - perhaps 37. Harold. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dieselbob Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Hi Harold Good idea that the address 3 is allways seems to rear its head when there is problems. Bob Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brush47337 Posted February 15, 2013 Author Share Posted February 15, 2013 wow that was fast thanks I came back to add that my pal has no programming ability on his layout - so he can't have mucked this up..... and that I have already tried to reset the loco address to a number 2. The chip took the number 2 for motor control - but the sound functions refused to listen and is stuck on 6 I will try cv 8 as suggested and factory reset thanks for the suggestions Stuart Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauliebanger Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 The chip took the number 2 for motor control - but the sound functions refused to listen and is stuck on 6 Stuart If a CV8 reset doesn't work, try setting address to 6 instead of 2. Then, both motor and sound will be on 6. Not ideal, but workable maybe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoingUnderground Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I've never heard of motor and sound ending up on different addesses before. Has anyone else heard of this type of problem previously? It makes me wonder if somehow the loco has been set up as a consist using address 6 for the consist, but the consist hasn't been cleared properly. Resetting the decoder should fix that.

Nigelcliffe Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Loco stuck in an Advanced Consist is compatible with the observed symptoms. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HLT 0109 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Loco stuck in an Advanced Consist is compatible with the observed symptoms. Yes, Nigel - as I discovered today. In my case the solution was to repeat the process of deleting the consist. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
