    Ok, thanks, IT. You can have automatic coupling/uncoupling of the loco from the Coaches under DCC control?

    Hi IT, You may be right and the TCS decoder may have that function but presently I cannot reprogram CV29 and cannot check:facepalm: If it was DC compatible I wonder why to would have been turned off or why it would come with CV29 set to non-DC running as default The decoder is in a DMU with a function decoder in the dummy car. Neither works. They're hardwired, I think, so not easy to remove. Maybe it really just isn't just compatible? I'll try to check the TCS website again. Seller says it's not DC compatible and I think he's on the level

    Amazing no ectrical problems in the moist conditions!

    Great job by the boys in green!

    LOOKS WELL! Are the buildings plastic? Are the platforms TREATED timber? Do you have a 'weed-sprayer' train to run if algae grows all over your hard work? Are the tracks powered or the locos are battery powered with IR control? How does it run when wet/damp conditions?

    So basically your excuse for the stoppage is "leaves on the line":D

    HI Noel. Yes, I understood that. I presume IT is speaking of the LokPilot V4 then. But I didn't understand the difference between a 'function' (and what that can control) versus a 'logic' function (and what that can control) or was that in reference to the 6 functions on a function only decoder?
  8. DiveController
    Thanks very much, Noel. Remember the decoder is small in your hands and not far away I wonder if the previous owner did not have CV29 enabled and I'm not set up on DCC to change it yet…..

    I understood from reading threads on the site that decoders still allowed operation on DC. On previous threads the owner of a misbehaving DCC equipped loco would be asked if it functioned on DC as a starting point to troubleshoot the decoder problem. Turns out that TCS decoders do not function under DC control. Does any one know what decoders are or are not compatible with DC running? …. and why? Thanks in advance.

    Are you still referring to the Fx V4.0 function only decoder and saying it still works with the PCB in the MM0071? Or the LokPilot V4? For clarity could someone elaborate on the difference between a 'function' (and what that can control) versus a 'logic' function (and what that can control) please?

    Is that prototypical of anything? I kinda wish we had a section of 'rtr' and kits available from various manufacturers alongside a photo of an Irish outline prototype which they very closely resemble

    Indeed, Seamus, a timely trubute….

    So the functions would be used like this…..? 6 Function decoder 1 - Front marker lights (Cab1 driving) + rear light(s) 2 - Front marker lights (Cab 2 driving) + other set of rear lights 3 - Main beam on/off (Cab1 driving) 4 - Main beam on/off (Cab2 driving) 5 - Cab 1 lights on/off 6 - Cab 2 lights on/off Motor - present on every decoder ('functions' are additional to this)

    Think it was the Wrath of Khan where Spock sacrifices himself in an irradiated engine room. If I remember correctly the quote was reversed in the next movie

    There is only one registered member with a similar handle. I am not sure if he is the author of that thread. You may need to check with a mod or one of the members who have been on here a little longer may know
  17. DiveController
    Anyone know of any?….. even on a British Modelling sites etc.?
  18. DiveController
    I was also wondering after fitting the decoders, whether it will still run for testing etc. on DC?

    Great resource, Richie and well explained! Not sure why its not a sticky:confused:

    Darwinian evolution, minister! The slow are eaten by dinosaurs and the stupid blown up by compressed flammable gases. It doesn't work out every time, of course. Did you notice how the cam switched from IR to day mode a couple of seconds later, not sure if it was the flash itself or someone turning on the outside light to see if the apocalypse had begun!

    Really enjoyed that. Not all the way through yet but more tonight. Not really into garden railways (they don't mix well with hurricanes;)) but a lot of the principles would be useful constructing indoors as you said
  24. DiveController
    Still one more needed to complete my collection of 141/181s…… If you have one surplus to requirements please PM me. Thanks, Kevin

    Can you start at Wrenn's or somewhere? I need some decent Irish outline...
