This was a huge help. I just purchased a pair of N scale locomotives as "parts or not running" on eBay. When I got them I popped the shells off to find DCC decoders of unknown manufacturer installed. I thought these were DC units given their vintage as they weren't offered even DCC Ready from Life-Like. So I broke out my old Powercab and hooked it up but neither responded to locomotive #3 or the road #'s on the shells so I was at a loss. Stumbled across your video, went through the programming and it detected the decoders, allowed me to program, set addresses, etc. and now I have two fully functional DCC units. Not a bad haul for $37 in retrospect. I had thought that maybe the decoders had been smoked. They just needed a reprogram.

I am so glad that my video helped you out, and that your “dead” locomotives are alive and well now. Thanks for the comment.

Do you what kind of decoder you have? It depends on that. Who made the locomotive?

Adam Schubert hi Adam, this is to “hand off” a locomotive or consist to another NCE Powercab. Basically the locomotive you were controlling becomes the other controller’s and your controller gets what they were controlling.
