kevpeo Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 HI Mike. Check you haven't inadvertently set it in a ''consist''. The symptoms match, engine starts, horns blow, etc. If it is consisted, it will only move when that address is selected. Check the manual for your DCC system to unset it. HTH, kev.

Mike-Greg Posted September 23, 2012 Author Share Posted September 23, 2012 Hi Kevpeo Thanks for the reply Not so sure about the consist bit ( never use it ) will check it out today anyway having said that would have thought a factory reset ( 8 to cv8) would have cleared any settings there anyway anyway played with it again this morning with factory reset (loco at addr 3 ) every thing works set addr to 20 ( as its been last 2 years ) no luck sits there burbling no movement set addr to 21 ( all ok ) using elite and railmaster deleted the class 20 setting in Railmaster Loco file to makesure there was no chance this was causing the problem and reinstalled loco to addr 20 and reinstalled it in Railmaster ( no go ) changed addr back to 21 and only changed the file ID in Railmaster to suit works ok back into Decoder Pro deleted class 20 file shut down and restarted decoder pro file gone put loco on track reinstated loco as class 20 and assigned addr 20 to it , saved file, exit decoder pro, back on layout same again sound no move change back to 21 all ok will have to look at your consist thought later as have to go out soon rgds Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigelcliffe Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 This now sounds like address 20 is stuck in RailMaster or the Elite, rather than anything else. Consists within the Elite or Railmaster software are one possibility. That the loco behaves correctly on 21 suggests that the loco decoder is fine. Does address 20 fail in just the Elite, ie. without computer attached ? If so, the problem appears to be in the Elite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike-Greg Posted September 23, 2012 Author Share Posted September 23, 2012 Hi when set to addr 20 will not respond (move) with just the Elite or through the Railmaster just sound functions work will try resetting the Elite tomorrow to see if that clears it Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
