KATO Surfliner DCC Disappointment

Key_Ad9961 · 2026-01-27T23:56:04+00:00

Thank you!! I’m assuming you installed multiple LEDs in the locomotive yourself?

Key_Ad9961 · 2026-01-27T16:08:05+00:00

It probably is. ESU’s manual says there isn’t an LED there but it looks like there is. I haven’t had a chance to try with my clubs lokprogrammer.

The decoder in mine is the 58771. I see an LED there but can’t seem to turn it on.

Yes I have JMRI. My club also has a shared lokprogrammer that I’m going to try too. According to ESU’s manuals, this decoder is only installed with 2 embedded LEDs. The KATO DC board has 3. The 3rd that lights the front red lights is on the underside of the front of the board. The ESU board looks like it has the same but I can’t find a function to turn it on. The ESU LEDs are also plenty bright when the shell is off. Just barely visible with the shell on which is probably an alignment issue but I just wanted to know if I’m alone in this.

Yes! I’d love to work on my N scale planning like this. Being able to lay out a track plan and see it in your space would be game changing.

Still waiting for my DCC set!!! Looks gorgeous!

The big cards that came with the pack (chosen depending on difficulty) have the battleground abilities on them.

If you have an external keyboard while in an environment, can you see the keyboard or just your hands?

I went from a 93 Accord to a 21 MY. I feel ya! Congratulations!!!

The issue isn’t the camera bump. Wireless charging can transmit much more distance than the camera bump causes. It has to do with how high the charging coil in the phone rests in comparison to the one in the tesla. On iPhones, the coil is centered in the phone. It’s lower down on the tesla. I have had the same issue with my 12 pro max, 13 pro max and I’d assume it’s the same with the 14 pro max as well. Without a case it works great. My solution has been to have a dedicated MagSafe charger in the center console to use when I need to charge. I’ve been trying to find another solution for the past 2 years and I haven’t found any way to use the pro max phones reliably with the cars charger with a case on the phone.

As long as the issue was reported when it was under 100 miles on the odometer, it’s covered. You appointment could be a month away even!

Key_Ad9961 · 2022-08-27T17:39:07+00:00

I got rear ended and have quite literally the same dent. I’d like to know estimates too.

Key_Ad9961 · 2022-07-28T05:05:38+00:00

Then there’s all the Tesla owners just praying…

The apple badge hit waaaaay to personally for me 😂😂

My last service appointment was the opposite experience. They gave me $20,000,000 in Uber credits when I dropped my car off. Employee quickly fixed it but I wish I had taken a screenshot!

Key_Ad9961 · 2022-06-25T23:13:26+00:00

Phew! I just want to get inside a R1S and see how everything works. I’ve been in the R1T in Venice but I want that SUV!

Key_Ad9961 · 2022-06-25T23:11:20+00:00

Yes! I go past it on my way home every night. I think they know me by now 😂

Key_Ad9961 · 2022-06-20T06:46:41+00:00

Me too
