I have attached a PDF file of my modified software for Geoff Bunza's SMA30 WiFi Throttle. I am calling this V1.0 for my PC&N Ry.

I have added a heartbeat feature to keep JMRI from disconnecting the throttle due to inactivity. Also, auto IP configuration for my two WiFI networks, Optional send track power on command to JMRI on power up.

I added a power off/dispatch throttle option that is activated by having the direction switch in Neutral and setting the speed step to 60 or greater.

Hope this may be of use to someone.

Hi everyone,

         I have an NCE system that is acting strange. When I plug in the power, without the track connector plugged in, the red light on the power panel is lit. When I plug in the track connector the red light goes out, that means no power the the track. Do I have a track wiring issue or something else??

Thanks! Scott

MRH: We updated your thread title to something more specific about you having a problem in order to increase your chances of getting a response.

I have three relatively recent HO Bachmann Spectrum 4-4-0s.  In each I removed the factory decoder and put in a TCS WOWSound decoder and speaker.

Two of the three run fabulously well.  The third is very jerky, particularly at slow speeds.  I encountered the gentleman from TCS at a recent meet and he suggested the problem could be a capacitor across the motor terminals.

I'm programming ESU Loksound decoders for Atlas C-424 models... one of the options offered by the Loksound decoder is the  Alco 251 sound:

• Prime mover #1 - "Alco 16-251 with Air Start"
• Prime mover #2 - "Alco 16-251 with Normal Start"

This is obviously a minor item since I have to ask the question in the first place, but since it is offered as a decoder option... which is the correct sound for Green Bay & Western's C-424s, built  1963-1965?
