This Startup problem is in the HEX part of the sound program. Thanks Robert for the tip. I do not have a PR3, but I can ask the members of my local railroad club and see if anyone has one.
I have not been able to find one online. I took this locomotive to my club tonight and ran it. Although it worked better than before, it was still stalling, slowing at irregular times, and not responding to commands.
I was told that our club tracks are in serious need of cleaning so it may not be the fault of the decoder. I did clean the wheels, but that made no difference. I am considering doing a simple test. I have a Tsunami decoder I plan on using on another locomotive. I am tempted to install it in the Pacific and see if many of the running issues I am observing go away.
I already know the sound will be superior. If that is the case, then I just will not invest any more time with this Digitrax decoder and consider it a loss. If you find a PR3 to use, there are steam files listed on the Digitrax Yahoo site. You have to join to have acces to them. Other than a British steamer, I do not see any other steam locomotives at the Digitrax Yahoo website. Am I missing something? There's only a couple of US steam engine versions including the "generic" one that comes pre-loaded but you can alter a file by moving a whistle for example from one project to another.
FWIW I've installed one of these in a steam engine and one in a diesel, and I like the diesel sounds better. The steam sound is OK but at higher speeds the "chuff" becomes more of a "click".
I might try moving that decoder into my , since the real engines topped out at about 20 MPH. Sound FX from Digitrax decoders. Login or register to post comments. Marc Fournier, Quebec.

The slower speeds and extremely good especially given they have the 3-pole pancake motor. Also installed LED lighting and now they have directional lighting and some other effects.
Good value for the money IF like to hardwire and tweak decoders. Good support from retailer, great price, fast delivery. Easy install, sound is great, works well. Thank you. David Kahle. Toggle menu Phones Orders and Web Assistance:
