Hi quick question how many locos will the nce power cab hold amount you can programme into the nce power cab thanks

[@chelmswoodjunction]

Hi Andrew That is a good question and one i can try and answer but dont take my word for it you can program a 4 digit address ranging from 0000 to 9999 and short address from 1 to 127. So far I have 15 locomotives programmed in and have no trouble so I would easily say you can do at least 100 maybe more. Hope this helps. Peter from Birmingham

[@MARKLINMAN1]

You can ONLY program 12 locomotives with the Power cab and Run from 4-6 N scale at one time. 👍👍

[@pieseasmyseas]

Does this work for the procab?

[@chelmswoodjunction]

Hello I think in would definitely work with the pro cab as tge Pro cab has alot more functions that the power cab doesn't. Glad you liked the video and I hope it helped. Peter

Hello, Is it possible to hock up as SB3a to JMRI.

[@chelmswoodjunction]

What dcc controller do you have and to use jmri you would need a dcc computer interface and I don't know what a SB3a is

[@ahsanfarooqi5663]

Hi good evening, can i control the steam loco "smoke" with NCE powercap ? or loco automatic control smoke based on sound ?

[@chelmswoodjunction]

If the smoke generator is on a function key then it should work by turning that function on if it's not refer to your instructions that came with the loco. Hope this helps. Peter

[@davidlarge8894]

I followed your instructions but noticed with engine sound running pressing the horn button 2 when the horn activates the engine sound goes quiet or off momentarily and comes back on which does not happen on 94

[@chelmswoodjunction]

Activating the horn shouldn't lower the engine sound

[@davidlarge8894]

@@chelmswoodjunction I assure you the engine sound goes off momentarily while say you activate the horn but comes back as the horn finishes it is almost imperceptible but I heard it .By the way the video was extremely helpful and well thought out .

[@chelmswoodjunction]

Thank you for your nice comments and I'm glad the video was a help to you. Peter

[@liketoplaytrains]

The NCE SB3a is the earlier model of a NCE SB5

[@chelmswoodjunction]

Then all you will need is the computer interface module then you should be good to go but do your home work first as I have never gone down this route before. Peter
