Arnold,


First, does the engine operate conventionally, i.e., without DCS?

 

Second, replace the engine's battery with a fresh, rechargeable battery. If you don't have one handy, then charge the engine's battery for several hours on a track with 12-18 volts.

 

Next, do a conventional reset:

  • Place the engine on a conventional (no DCS signal) track and give it power. It should start up
  • From a transformer, press the horn/whistle button once and the Bell button 5 times. Use 1/2 second presses with 1/2 second pauses in-between.
  • If this works, you should hear a double horn toot. If there's a different problem with the sound system, you should at least be able to start the engine under DCS and get it to move.

Let us know what happens.

Hi Barry : I did everything you said and still no sound. In dcs everything seems to work even the lights flash when I push the horn button just no sound at all. I can't find any wires not connected the volume is up.
