TEAMYAKIMA Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 I emphasise DIGITRAX expert rather than DCC expert as I always find that DIGITRAX can be subtly 'different'. I am exhibiting my large DIGITRAX controlled layout at KeyModelWorld Live and I have a DIGITRAX issue that my team know how to solve 'in theory', but whilst I have two DCC 'experts' in my team they use LENZ and are very reluctant to make significant changes to my command station just hours before a major show. Allow to to explain further, my team all live many miles away from me and so there is no chance to deal with this issue before we all meet on Friday April 26th at the NEC. So, I was hoping that someone who is experienced with Digitrax might be on hand to supervise the changes we need to make to the command station. Perhaps if there is anyone, it would be better to send me a PM. Many thanks. Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIMorrison Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Paul, This does seem to have been a tale of woe that has been ongoing for quite a while. It might help if you provide a summary of what is wrong to ensure you get the right sort of person offering to help you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the dominant system in the US that might be an idea to try. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DY444 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 There are Digitrax and Loconet fora on groups.io. Some of the contributors on there know the systems inside out right down to bit and byte level. Otherwise I've been using Digitrax since 2000 and know a bit about it and loconet's inner workings so there's a vague chance I may know. What is the problem? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the problem? Thank you (and others) for your comments. I think the situation is that my resident DCC team member (who doesn't use Digitrax on his own layout) has read up on the problem and knows (in theory) what to do when we get to our next show (KEYMODELWORLD) but would just like the reassurance that there might be someone on hand who could be called upon if something goes wrong.

Without knowing what you are proposing to do it is difficult to comment. However it seems to me that one obvious suggestion is to try the change well before the show ensuring you make a note of the original values of anything you change so you know what to go back to.

Yes, I agree, but it's not quite as simple as that. My team member who deals with DCC issues live 2 hours drive from where I live and so the next time he will be available to deal with this issue is at the set-up day of KEYMODELWORLD and whilst he is 99.9% certain he knows the drill, he would prefer to have a DIGITRAX specialist in the background if things go wrong. Thanks (as usual) for everyone's support/advice, but we have now found someone who will be able to step in and help at KEYMODELWORLD if things do go pear-shaped and so we are now sorted.

RMweb Gold bandmbill Posted March 14 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 14 (edited) What is the problem? It may be a very simple fix…… I have been using Digitrax Command Stations since 1999…. Edited March 14 by bandmbill 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
