Lost sound on SD-70ACE

Hi,

A few possibilities/things to check.

Firstly, have you accidentally turned the volume right down either on the cab remote or with the volume knob on the loco? (Sounds silly, but I've done this myself.)

When you programmed the loco, did you accidentally set the sound option to 'no sound'? You can check this on the remote after selecting the loco.

It is possible that there might be a spot of dust in the volume knob on the loco. Try turning it up and down a few times and see if that helps.

And finally, I have found that sometimes odd things can be cured by shutting down the loco, turning off the track power, powering off the Legacy base, and then starting everything back up again. (Sort of like a hard re-boot for a computer.)

Hopefully this will turn out to be one of the simple options. Otherwise, I'm sure that one of the more experienced experts here will be able to help.

Good luck. 

Thanks Nicole,

I shut everything down and started over. Now it works just fine. Have you encountered any problems with running 2 Legacy engines on the same track?

Hi Captain John,

I'm happy to hear that it was a simple fix. There are so many computers in modern trains that they can sometimes get confused, and a hard re-boot often helps. 

As far as running multiple Legacy loco's on one track goes. No, I've not encountered any problems with that. I normally have up to 6 running at once. My layout is basically a double tracked loop, but it is normally wired as one electrical block, and so is effectively a single track.

I have the Legacy engines on separate tracks right now and everything is good. My layout is wired for DCS with 10-16' blocks. No problem running 2 DCS engines on 1 track. I will experiment with the Legacy engines in awhile.

Thanks much for the info Nicole.
