Trade Member charliepetty Posted April 13, 2020 Trade Member Share Posted April 13, 2020 FROM THE DC KITS SECTION; I am finally getting into the world of DCC and have the Hornby Railmaster set up, managed two trains and they are running fairly well. I then unboxed my Class 156 Realtrack ScotRail and very exited have tried to set it up. First attempt didn’t work, it had 2 settings full speed or nothing and Realtrack advised me to reset to factory settings via CV8 which I did, when this didn’t work they advised me to ask on here. The train does move, but no matter what speed I select it goes full pelt around my wee test track or is off, no in between. Some of the lighting functions work but the sound doesn’t at all. Can anyone help? It’s probably my biggest investment for my Railway and I am just in the planning stages of a proper DCC layout but this has really put me off Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAF96 Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 (edited) Ensure you have got DC running turned off in CV29. Sounds like DC runaway to me. Also on the RM speed slider is it showing 128 speed steps or MPH. If showing 1 them delete and relist the loco. Edit - to get the sound to work you list it in loco setup ensuring any toggled sounds are suffixed on/off e.g Sound on/off. Momentary sounds do not need the suffix. If aftermarket sound is fitted then list as described earlier. Edit - this removed from above - posted in error as noted by Sarah in next post. Generally if you list the loco by its R-number and sound is factory fitted it will list these automatically for you.

Ruffnut Thorston Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 (edited) As the model in question is made by Realtrack, not Hornby, it will not have a Hornby "R" number I would think... So, it looks like the earlier list method will be required... Edited April 13, 2020 by Sarahagain more added... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
