Start-up
Solution
When I apply power to the track
my engine doesn’t do anything. No
lights, no sound, no nothing.
This is normal. You have to hit the
Start-Up button.
Check to see if that section of track has
power. Use a voltmeter or a lit
passenger car, not your tongue.
Slide the engine a couple of feet in
either direction, you may ha ve a bad
track section
Have you got that section electrically
isolated with a toggle switch or other
device?
I get an error when I hit Start-Up
Have you recently changed the engine
address?
Check if there is power on that section
of track the engine is sitting on (there
has to be power for the signal to get to
the engine and for the engine to be able
to hear it)
If you have two engines on the track
they both may have the same address.
Take one of them off the rails and try it
again
Sound
Solution
I have no sound on my engine, but
my lights are on and it moves j ust
fine
You may have it turned off. Repeatedly
press VOL + to bring the Master
Volume up
Did you turn off the ENG Sounds?
Press the ENG SND button on your
DCS controller.
Check that you ha ven’t lowered any of
the independent engine volumes (Eng
Sounds, Bell, Whistle, or Accent)
When I run Doppler I can hear the
Doppler shift but then the engine
sounds fade out and I can’t get
them back
This is normal. You will need to press
the Doppler button again to turn
Doppler off. Your engine sounds will
now return to normal
