The car will perform stations stops in Manual Mode. But after programing the car in Learn Mode and then running the car in Auto Mode the car will announce the station in Loop Mode, but will not stop at any of the stations that it announced. I used M.T.H.'s DCS Commander to programmed this car while in learn mode, for each stop I would push the "Direction Button" to stop the car and bring it to Zero mph, I would then select the station with the "STA SEL" Button, then saved with the "SEL Button". I would then bring the car back to 20 mph and the hit the "Direction Button" to program the next stop. Can anyone please tell me what I am doing wrong while programing this car in  learn mode.

When programming in "Loop" mode, the last stop has to be at the same location as the first stop.  After you program that last stop, it should say "save" and then "complete".  Did yours say "complete"?  If not it did not successfully program.

Hi:  This might be way off the subject but I have a true Corgi "O" Scale PCC Streetcar for sale on the Forum.  I have several  MTH PCC Cars and have not used them in several years.  I also collected quite a few Corgi Models and I am selling my collection.  I have One left of the Newark/PSNJ (Newark Public Service--New Jersey) and it is brand new for sale at $38 plus shipping.  This PCC Car was used in the Newark Subway until the people who run this "trolley line" decided to extend the line and bought new Light Rail Cars for the subway.  The PCC Cars went to San Francisco "F" Line and other Museum Trolley Lines,  San Francisco painted these cars in various schemes that were used in cities that ran PCC Cars.  San Francisco is the only city in the whole wide world with such an active  fleet of PCC Cars. Yes, Boston and Philadelphia have only one "Token" PCC Streetcar but San Francisco is The "King" of PCC Cars.  Look up on You Tube and you can see PCC Cars operating today in S.F., Philly, and Boston.  If you wish to buy my Newark PCC just drop me a line ---  Sincerely yours     railbear601

Forgot one thing--El Paso Texas recently opened a new double loop PCC Air-Electric Streetcar Line.  The 6  cars were taken from a field were they had been placed in storage since 1984.   Brookville Equipment  Corporation, Brookville Pennsylvania  rebuilt these cars from the ground up and they started running in El Paso in November 2018.  You can see movies of these cars on You Tube.  Brookville builds new streetcars besides doing work for San Francisco because several of there PCC Cars just went through there 20 to 25 year reconditioning.
