All better again.

Using a friend's digitrax, I was re-addressing my three DCC engines.

The first two went great (The two BLI GN S-2's).  The third was a disaster (scaletrains UP 8500 turbine).   After putting in the new address, nothing moved. 

Another friend came over with his laptop JMRI software and checked out the turbine.  After reading the manual (who does that!), it said best to update the decoder on the programming track and do each unit, one at a time (of the 3 units).

Well, we had a good time as he brought over some of his DCC engines so we ran trains, video taped them, told 'railroad' stories, had pizza and, also, fixed the turbine.  All three units have their own decoder: I was surprised the tender had a

decoder: just for the tender light.   Separate decoders is nice: no wires between units.

All's good again in the GN world

On Thursday, I put my order in for digitrax and it should be here on Monday.

bummer:

UPS tracking says the package is at their main facility, only about 7 miles from my house

but UPS doesn't deliver on week ends so, not until Monday.
