Few weeks ago my car was broken into and my Train Tool box was stolen! Over all I find it a little funny, can you imagine the looks on the thief’s faces when they opened the tool box? Hardly any tools and mainly cheap stuff at that! Plus looking at the Kadee couplers, Kadee washers, strips of plastic, bottles of glue and colored chalk. Main thing I need help with is most of my engines owner’s manuals where in the box as well.
What I need is.
Number for Broadway Limited tech support for a RA number for my heavy Mike. Wheels came out of quarter and bent a drive rod.
Class J BLI needs the decoder re sat to factory default. I have done it before using DC, but cannot remember the order it must be done in. I tried BLI web site but did not find any manuals listed.
It is just sinking in how much stealing my toolboxes is going to cost me to replaces. I am going to guess around $150.00 not counting the box it self, which was cheap. As we all know it is the little stuff. Like the spare trucks, extra frames, extra gears and on and on.
Crandell, I know you have forgotten but I run a Bachmann E-Z with a 8 amp booster. So I cannot get to the CV’s. I know that 99.9% of you think I am nuts for still running T-Stages old E-Z command but it is simple and I like simple. I will be getting a Zepher pretty soon but for one reason. I want radio control DCC.
GTX, Matt looking forward to the answer’s on the Class J. Remember I am looking for the order on DC to re sit the decoder. Engine runs fine, but there is no whisel. Hit F-2 and the bell sounds, F-1 the bell sounds. All other fuctions are fine.
You can remove the tender cover, pull out the little black pillar that looks like it has two mini-staples on its top, power up, power off, replace the jumper, as it is called, and then you will get a full reset when you next power up. At least, that is what the first few years of QSI production did. If your engine came with a wand, the black plastic funny shaped thing like a toy electric razor, you power down, place the wand against the water hatch, power up, slowly wave the wand about 1/2" in either direction, and the engine should beep and go through a reset by itself. Power down, power up, and deal with it on address “03”.
Note that the factory sometimes relocated the reed switch to just near the trailing edge of the coal bin, so if what I describe up above doesn’t want to work, try the wand nearer the coal bin rear plate.
I worked with a very physically attractive woman many years ago who stepped out of a health club and had a thief grab her purse and run. Except it wasn’t her purse. It was her sweaty work out clothes in her gym bag. imagine his surprise when he opened that one.
Had a big ol microwave oven box. Filled it up with a bunch of NASTY garbage I was getting rid of. Taped it shut and put it in the back of my pick up truck to take to the dump. Came out the next day and it was gone!!![(-D][(-D]Wish I could have been there when those crack heads opened it up!!![:-,]
Cuda, bummer to have your tools stolen. But I’m curious, how to do you end up getting the drive wheels out of quarter and a bent side rod? Trying to pull too many cars?
On the Hevy Mike, it was not pulling a load at all? I thought it hit a drity section of track so I pulled it and did not find the bent rod for a couple of weeks. I would guess it only has around 15 hours on it, did not like how quite the small tender made it. My other BLI’s would drown out the sound of the Mike.
