    How to change address when Digitrax Zephyr doesn't work

    I saw on a forum some time ago how to change the address of a loco when Zephyr didn't work. It was something like hooking a wire across the rails of the programming track. I did not keep the instructions and need to do it again. It was a Bachmann loco. It worked what ever I did. Anyone on...

    MRC Sound Decoder for Kato SD70MAC

    Had the same problem with MRC and got basically the same response from them. The problem is not necessarily speaker size. I have 4 Kato E8's with Digitrax SoundFx decoders in them and they are 100% better. Speakers are the same size. I also have 2 BRI E8's that came with Paragon2 sound...

    MRC 1645 sound decoder

    I have just installed a MRC 1645 sound decoder in my Kato E8. I was rather disappointed at the quality and volume (mainly the volume) produced. My Broadway Paragon2 E8's blow it out of the water when it comes to volume. Does anyone know of a way to increase volume on these decoders? Jim
