Lights
Solution
One of my lights is out
Check that you haven’t turned it off with the DCS
controller. You have independent control over
lights on your engine
None of my lights are on
Could be the same reason as “One of my lights is
out”
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.
Motion
Solution
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
Check to see if you have any kind of binding on
the side rods. There may be a chuck of your
favorite, perfectly scaled pine tree stuck in there.
PFA
Solution
When I enter PFA all that
happens is the bell rings.
What do I do?
Press the DIR button. Your engine will stop and
begins the arrival sequence. Pressing the DIR
button will cycle you through the next 3 PFA
sequences
Why does my engi ne run
away all by itself after the
PFA is over?
This is normal. The engine will leave the station at
the same speed it entered (when hit the PFA
button). The speed setting can be changed after
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 or press Shut-Down. Button on the DCS
