Major Issues

[ngauger]

DCC has come a long way, basically because the folks that understood the instructions to begin with were nice enough to tell us dummies what the instructions really meant, making it easy for all of us.  I like to put long address' in using the CV17 and 18 and setting CV29 programing on the main. You have to be sure you are addressing the right locomotive.  I use the BLI address calculator for this chore. I can't find it on line anymore but I would be glad to email it to anyone. It is an .exe file so at times the file name has to be changed to mail it. I don't know of any way to share it here

You're right, I imagine it has gotten better over the years.
Does the calculator allow you to use the locomotive's actual numbers?

Ex:  PRR 1250 would allow you to number it 1250 in the DCC controller
