Is the engine getting power? Check to see if
there is voltage on the track or move the
engine a few feet in either direction.

Lights
Solution
Motion
Solution
When I apply power and hit F3, my
engine powers up but it won’t move.
My engine hesitates at slow speeds.
An engine may do this right out of the box if it
has not been lubricated. Follow the lubrication
instructions. Now go ahead and run it.
New engines even after they are lubricated
may take a little bit to get everything run in. Be
a little patient and let it run for a bit. It should
clear up shortly after lubricating and running.
This is normal, dial up the speed on your DCC
controller to make your engine move.
PFA
Solution
I hit F4 to start the PFA but the engine
just keeps ringing its bell, that’s all it’ll
do.
Why does my engine run away all by
itself after the PFA is over?
Bring the engine speed to 0. You will now hear
the station arrival sounds (pretty cool, huh?).
Pressing F4 will cycle through the PFA
sequence (check out the PFA section of the
manual for more)
This is normal. The engine will leave the
station at the same speed it entered (when
you hit F4 the first time). You can not control
the speed of your engine while it’s leaving the
station until the bell stops ringing.
Shut Down
Solution
Okay, I give up. What do I have to do to
shut it down?
Well, you can either remove power from
the track or press F3 again.
Lost or Unknown Address
Solution
I can't call up my engine on the address
I believe it to be set at
Perform the 55-55-55 Reset instructions
on page 26
If you are trying to talk to an engine on its
short address you may have set CV29 to
activate long addressing. Try to get a hold of
the engine on its last known long address
Place the engine on the Programming Track
output on your DCC system and write a value
of 3 to CV1
