¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHi Phil ? You said NCE returned the PowerCab saying it is working normally. You said you tested the PowerCab on a circle of track and you can run locos. You said you do the ¡°Coin Test¡± and the PowerCab shuts down. Was this on the LAYOUT or on the test circle of track? ? If on the layout, then there is nothing wrong with the layout. If on the test circle, then there could be a problem with your layout. ? Saying the PowerCab Ammeter shows ZERO when connected to the layout, with a loco on track, suggests: There¡¯s a wiring issue to the layout. A problem with the PCP (fascia panel). A problem with the Flat Cable A problem with the PowerCab, but NCE tested it okay. ? Is the PCP (fascia panel) LED illuminated with the PowerCab plugged in? ? If yes, place a 12 Volt 5 to 20 Watt Automotive lamp (Tail Lamp), ¡°across¡± the track. Does the lamp illuminate? What wattage lamp did you use? What does the PowerCab¡¯s Ammeter display? Try the lamp in different places on the layout. ? All of the above confirms whether you¡¯re getting power to the layout. ? With the lamp illuminating, there¡¯s nothing wrong with the PowerCab, wiring etc, the problem is in the loco. ? Lamp NOT illuminating, problem with PowerCab and/or wiring. ? You have to identify the EXACT problem to rectify the culprit. ? Please get back to us with your results. ? Regards Marcus
