Fixing a Digitrax Problem

Billy asks readers:

“I just replaced my Bachmann EZ command system with a radio equipped 8amp system from Digitrax.  My many HO engines ran fine on the ez command system, but I couldn’t run many at a time.  I bought the Digitrax system so I could.  But the only engine I can get to run properly is my sound equipped Proto 2000 SD-40-2.  All others either don’t run or run erratically and a lot of functions don’t work.  Anyone ran into this before?  I am new to Digitrax and would like any ideas.”

    Hi Billy I dont run Digitrax myself but do run NCE and have you programmed all your engines into the command unit and given them new address numbers.

    Billy,

    You most likely need to reprogram those locomotives. What digitrax system are you using? What is the number on the box?

  • William Anderson says:

    First thought is to check all your electrical connections, making sure that they are solid and that you have adequate size wire. The minimum is what is usually supplied with a new system.
