Peter and Mike:
I am having exactly the same problem with reading and programming the BLI F3/F7 units with Paragon3 "Rolling Thunder" sound decoders in them.? I am using a standalone PR3 with a programming track, and an 18 V power supply.? I get exactly the same behavior as Mike described above, in all aspects.? I eventually used NMRA Standard Definition for these locos in order to be able to change their addresses.? Not a satisfactory solution, but at least I can program the address.? Other BLI locos with the Paragon3 "Rolling Thunder" decoder read and program just fine.? What gives???? Anyone have any suggestions??
Thanks!
Michael
P.S.? The new BLI T1 steamer behaves exactly the same way!!
