DCC Chip - Bachmann

3529 Views 15 Replies 6 Participants Last post by  Poppa Mike
Good Morning on a sunny Fathers Day.

I am chipping several Locos to run on our new DCC Layout, all has gone well UNTIL - I opened up the Bachmann Jinty Loco - it has what (I think) is a choke - 2 tiny copper coils surronding a (Graphite?) rod - wired between the pick up & motor.

To start I have wired in the chip between the pickup & (Choke?), programmed it as #5, the Hornby controller accepted the input (Red Light flashed) but the Loco refuses to run on anything other than default (#3).

Before I hack out the (Choke?) & get myself into real trouble, does any one have any suggestions.

Thanks Mike H.

Here's a video of a chip being installed in a Bachmann Jinty.
Some people complain about the techniques used, but until someone comes up with something better it's all there is. It does show what goes where.
