I don't think that's supposed to happen, but I don't have the DT602 throttle, so I'm no help.Ok sports fans , first time experience using dt602 throttle . Using an engine that has dcc ( atlas master with dual decoder ) and when using Digitrax zephyr ran just fine all three track loops at various speeds ( only increased speed at start of loop cycles and never touched during the loops . engine seemed like it didn’t want to start but eventually moved when I increased throttle . On the first loop the engine would stopped 4 times in the middle of the run . I only held the throttle with fingers away from throttle knob . Engine would only move again when I did touch throttle knob , I’m going to puta different engine on when I get time later to test out again .

Are these Sound locos ?I am new to DCC, just received Digitrax 210 and radio controller. Seems fine but I haven’t nearly gotten into everything it’s capable of. Biggest issue I have had is locos sometimes don’t want to fire up on initial Track On button push, I have to turn track back off and restart, then everything is good…. You are right, throttle knobs a bit oversized and to close together… Really need to find someone near me with time and a lot of patience who has experience with this set up, could use some walk throughs…
I'm wondering if (a) you have a loose connection somewhere or, (b) as you're using wireless, it takes a few seconds for the two units to connect, but you haven't said which wireless controller you have, so it's just a maybe.All of my sound locos still in the boxes they came in smudge . Like I said I’ll try a different engine with dcc installed and see what happens .
Yes. If everything works correctly the Atlas fires right up, the 2 BLIs don’t fire up till throttle is tickled. Every now and then though nothing works at start up, shut down and restart everything is fineAre these Sound locos ?
I am wondering if your throttle is powering down to save energy and thus stopping the locos…. Mine is only active for 90 seconds, shuts itself down to save energy, but the locos do continue to run. Yours possibly set up different?Ok sports fans , first time experience using dt602 throttle .

Are the BLI fitted with stay alive, they would power up first, which would explain why you have to tickle the throttle or they don't fire up the first time.Yes.

Every now and then though nothing works at start up, shut down and restart everything is fine
I never noticed that on my BLI, I'll have to take another look at mine.They do have stay alive feature, they do not power up until I tickle the throttle regardless of power working at startup or restart. Not a big deal, I just wonder why I sometimes have to restart everything to get any action. I do like that the BLIs need me to start them up rather than starting up right away, feels more like I am the engineer lol
Unfortunately for me I have to figure all that out, but just like my track build it will be slow and steady, just not enough free time to dedicate to the trains…That start up feature is programmable using the ESU LokProgrammer.
Ken, can you change the startup using JMRI ?That start up feature is programmable using the ESU LokProgrammer.
That particular CV is kinda hit and miss with JMRI, but you could give it a try.Ken, can you change the startup using JMRI ?
