I waited till I got 55002 to make a comparison and it’s the same. Both my locos had been running around the layout for 30 minutes plus so stay alive should be fully charged. Can anyone confirm that theirs runs on for a few seconds with lights and sound running please before I contact support? thanks Stu My two both continue to run when lifted off the track. Might be worth checking the CV for the duration that the PowerPack supplies power. Can’t recall which one it is now, but will look later. Roy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can confirm that I also have a the NCE power cab, 2 factory sound fitted and both ‘die’ the second they leave the track. To be honest I hadn’t noticed this earlier as I have all live frogs so nothing except the shortest if wheelbase locos ever need a stay alive. But agreed, if they are meant to keep running briefly when lifted from the track they dont. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were a bargain. So you got all the one size but in different colours. The shop said you could return the ones you didn’t like.

Railsnail Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 2 hours ago, DIRTY DIESEL said: Thanks McC for the quick reply (unbelievable service), is the stay alive stand alone? Or can it be activated via a CV? My track isn’t that dirty so it’s not causing any issues at the moment but still nice to have just in case. Stu Have just checked the stay alive on my lovely white cabbed 'Tulyar'. With all CVs set to out of the box values, I can confirm that stay alive works for around 3 to 4 seconds with sound and lights on after lifting her off the track. I'm using my home-brew DCC++ controller with JMRI throttle. Interestingly, previously I had unknowingly been testing my locos with the DCC++ power supply set to 9V! As a rule I set the PSU to 15V (to the DCC++ Controller) for OO. I'm somewhat surprised that the decoder worked at all on the lower voltage. (Just to be clear, the 3-4 second stay alive time test was carried out with the controller's power input set to 15V) 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haverail Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 (edited) I made an interesting discovery tonight. One of the headlight functions did not work so, as suggested by Accurascale, I tried a spare decoder and the headlight worked. That is not the interesting find though! I ran the train a bit with the spare decoder and found that the low speed action had vastly improved compared to the original sound card. See short video the Deltic creeping along on speed 1 and no changes to any CV's. Sorry about small size I had to convert my MP4 to gif to load it on here.
