BL-2 Diesel Engine

Start-up
Solution
When I apply power to the track my engine
doesn’t do anything. No lights, no sound.
Did you press F3 yet? F3 on your DCC hand
-
held will start your engine up.
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 direc
-
tion, you may have a bad track section.
Have you got that section electrically isolated
with a toggle switch or other device?
Sound
Solution
I have no sound on my engine, but my lights are
on and it moves just fine.
You may have it turned off. Repeatedly press F6
to cycle through the volume levels (there are 9
levels, 0-max).
There's a crackling sound from my engine
Check to see if a screw or some other mate
-
rial hasn't lodged itself in the underside of the
engine.
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 F21
button again to turn Doppler off. Your engine
sounds will now return to normal.
Smoke
Solution
My engine isn’t smoking at all.
Make sure you’ve got the smoke switch ON. It
must be ON for the smoke to operate in DCC
Mode.
Press F12 on your DCC handheld. This will
activate the smoke.
If you just filled it with the smoke fluid some
-
times the fluid can make a seal in the stack blow
down the stack to clear the air bubble.
My engine barely smokes.
You may have set the smoke to Low. F13 will
vary the smoke levels. Or, if you were running
it in DCS mode you may have toggled it there
(if you don’t have F13 on your DCC handheld
you will have to put it back into DCS mode and
change it from there), or follow the instructions
starting on pg. 29 to move the smoke volume
into an F Function that exists on your controller
Check for an obstruction in the smoke stack
Add 10-12 drops of smoke fluid
