Functions 5 & 6 are revs up/revs down. At the rev it starts at, if you hit revs down, the engine revs down and shuts off. Note also that engine "0" is for analog (DC) engines - works fine, but I don't like to leave an analog engine on live DCC track for long. Worth noting that the DCC engine works on analog power as well. That controller can be used to change the loco code - my BNSF is now at code 1. If you read the instructions for turnouts, they say you shouldn't connect the frog wire for DCC locos - any idea why? My main track problem is stalls on turnouts at switching speeds. Once you've assembled and disassembled the track a few times, the joiners loosen, and missing a connection become much less common. Dirty track is forever an issue - but I've got a track cleaning car coming. That loco will happily pull many more cars than the 4 you get in the set.

nice video. yes usually you have to break in a new engine. Run it for 30 minutes in each direction and it will move that train smoothly. and maybe some track cleaning 😉

[@LedgemereHeritageFarm]

Thank You. Which track do you prefer, EZ track or Unitrack?

[@HenrikSweden1]

neither, i use peco flex track and switches. They look good, but i have used peco for ages. so used to it.@@LedgemereHeritageFarm

[@HenrikSweden1]

well i use peco flex track and switches as i have used them for ages. But i think your system works well. The upside with peco is that i can make the curves i want and cut the track to exactly the right length. You can see some of my layout here on youtube if you look for erie lackawanna in n scale.@@LedgemereHeritageFarm

You should’ve gotten the steam verison of the set Whistle stop special to complete the dcc sound set saga, nice video

[@LedgemereHeritageFarm]

I’ll check it out. Thank You for watching

I purchased the exact set and after a couple of years I decided to change back to DC powered track. Now using Kato with having 4 multi track layout with three crossovers. I also installed separate push button toggle switch to power on/off to each track, so I can wait for a train to pass before crossing over with another train. I'm only use only one Dc controller which powers the whole layout, running 4 dc trains with it and having alot of fun too :0) ... My Question: would it be easy to change that Roaring Rail GP40 dcc engine back to dc ? how would one change that specific dcc engine back to DC as I find it runs way too slow being DCC on a DC power track even when its the only train on the layout ... Thank you

[@LedgemereHeritageFarm]

I prefer kato as well. that I am not sure of

[@DeclineofJehovah]

Can you adjust how loud the sounds are?

[@LedgemereHeritageFarm]

no. only on or off

[@DeclineofJehovah]

@LedgemereHeritageFarm thank you for the info

[@elleryparsons2433]

Once You go Into N Scale you will Stay Into the Scale it’s Worth It All The Way Around.

[@LedgemereHeritageFarm]

I like it very much as it’s very easy to put it in a small area. I primarily use HO, but I have a bunch of Lonel O as well. Thank you for watching

[@elleryparsons2433]

Don’t Feel Bad my Wife And I Are Ho And N Scale And We Love It.
