    Had a Hornby 66 that was poor on running with a TTS decoder so did a web search and found out that by setting CV150 to 1 should help which to my surprise it did so did not have to go any further as now runs really well so very happy .So a bit of time on the web and one adjustment and cured the problem

    I started with the basic Bachmann one with 10 buttons to see if i liked DCC can be found on the bay very limited in what they can do but it got me started and once i was happy lots of systems out there i settled on the gaugemaster one in the end not to ever ones taste but suits me kev

    TTS CV setting

    kev posted a topic in DCC Sound

    Put a CD motor in one of my class 37 then put a TTS decoder in it was jerky and put it to one side did a bit of search on web and found that by setting CV150=1 CV153=215, CV154=0.That sorted it out also put a better speaker in it so a happy bunny

    Lima DCC sound

    kev replied to reddragon's topic in DCC Sound

    Read through this and some of the comments are a bit off if you have a poor running loco a new CD style motor is easy enough to do a search of the bay will often find them and often cheaper than new brushes etc al so turns your loco in to a fair runner i tend to use TTS for sound with a better speaker if you can solder then the job is even easier so give it a go the more on or in a loco the easier it is to break them

    A lot of systems out there simple starter set the Bachmann basic 10 button one often in the train set not bad but limited functions but a easy start into DCC , gaugemaster dco1 not to bad a system ,you will open a big can of worms on this one but plenty under your limit a quick google search will bring up a lot Digitrax, Nce,Lenz so look round and if you see one that you like ask on here for further help

    Not going to service Lima motors any more just going to change them for the CD type cheap enough on the bay and takes about the same amount of time, plus side you get a far better running loco,only got a end to end layout so slow running is important to me the layout is DCC
