DC-3 Rail Inspection Car

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. This can

be changed from Low to Med to High.
Check for an obstruction in the smoke stack
Add 10-12 drops of smoke fluid

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

When I apply power and hit Start-up, my engine

powers up but it won’t move.

This is normal, dial up the speed on your DCS

Remote to make your engine 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.

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 engine 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 Remote

Lost or Unknown Address

Solution

I can't call up my engine on the address I be-

lieve it to be set at

Delete the engine from your DCS remote, and

attempt to re-add it.

On the DCS Remote, hit Menu > System >

Engine Setup > Recover Engine

DCS (Remember, it’s NOT DCC)
