Dan, I program the remote. At work I load drivers on customer’s computers, update firmware on printers/copiers, set up scanning and remote folders, and sometimes I have no clue why something doesn’t work. At home, I only call Dave Bodner, when all else fails on my home computer. But usually I can tweak that thang too.
So tonight I think I have had enough of installing decoders for a while. I put my HO Riverrossi Hiawatha Pacific on the programming track and got her programmed, but the headlight would not come on. It seams I got the polarity reversed on the headlight LED. Its working now.
So for the 2 day show, in a week an a half, I will have my choice of 2 Mantua Pacifics, A Mehano Pacific, A Riverrossi Pacific (is there a theme here?), a Mehano Mountain, 2 Bachmann Moguls, a Bachmann 4-4-0 , a Bachmann 4-6-0, a Clyde (my favorite), a Penn Central Bachmann GP something and 2 Blue box Athern Penn Central F7s. Now to see how many cars I can fix. Fix, I broke a few when I dropped the box they were in.
I never did reprogram the 4-4-0. I will just have to remember its address is 1127. Just like I have to remember the Clyde is 0186. The number on the side of the Clyde, embossed on a (simulated) polished brass plate is B86. That’s them Aussies for ya.
