0 heirflick Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 his answer was to reset the controller as per the manual and reassign numbers to your locos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Seanw12 Posted November 26, 2013 Author Share Posted November 26, 2013 Yeah but that won't work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 enniscorthyman Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Was your loco DCC ready or was it converted to DCC.The reason I ask is if the motor has supression capacitors still attached,this can cause poor response to loco motor.

0 WRENNEIRE Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Great hint Eamonn, I did not know that they affected performance (Just as I went to post this comment my spell check had Eamonn underlined, when I right clicked it gave me the option of changing it to Moonbeam!

0 Seanw12 Posted November 26, 2013 Author Share Posted November 26, 2013 It's a 141 (156) I got it chipped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 WRENNEIRE Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 I have not heard of any DCC faults with the 141's Sean, but the Hornby Select has had a few bad reviews, Change the controller? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Riversuir226 Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 What chip are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Seanw12 Posted November 26, 2013 Author Share Posted November 26, 2013 Bachmann 21 pin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Riversuir226 Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 The select is not entirely dcc compatible, I used one for a few years, it was fine while using hornby chips but other chips could misbehave If your using a bachmann 21pin chip the problem may lie there to solve it you could get a normal 8 pin hornby decoder and an adaptor to fit the 21 pin socket on your 141.

0 Seanw12 Posted November 26, 2013 Author Share Posted November 26, 2013 How much would that be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Riversuir226 Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 The adaptors are cheap enough, the hornby decoders are not that expensive. To be honest I d change the controller as in the long run you d be better off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Georgeconna Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Is the power track your using a orange coloured one?, Hornby have a DDC power track specially for DCC. If it is the Orange coloured Power track socket, then you can take off the cover and remove the Supression Capaictor in that or change it for a DCC power track which is: R8241 Also it could be the Back EMF is set wrong. Had this problem on a few baccy chips recently. Hope that helps but try the power track solution 1st. tks George Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The spell checker must know you, man!) That's Gas alright.I have seen this problem before with the Capacitors,but perhaps it might be only certain types of chassis that this affects,however I always remove them from the likes of the deltic chassis. As regards the 141,the select as far as I know is very basic for DCC,but a good wheel clean could help and have you tryed a different decoder?.
