NCE Powercab: Displaying Track Current and Increasing Recalls

First of a new line of Show You How videos where I take a quick look at the NCE Powercab and show you how to change the display to show the track current and also increase the number of locomotive recalls you can have on the handset.

Will, from the USA here. Thanks for this! I am a newbie to NCE Powercab, and still learning. And, yes, there is a manual, but NO tutorials put out by NCE that I know of.

Hi Will. I know what you mean. Hope it's helpful and don't forget to subscribe 😉. Cheers mate 👍

ive had my powercab for a few years and this is news to me! i needed a way to increase the recalls! thanks Steve!

[@thebritishrailroader]

I always thought it was odd that the specs say you can recall up to six but it was pre-set at 2. It isn't easy to figure out but I have found the section in the instruction manual now so will point this out on my next video.

Great video Steve! I was not aware of either of these features on the ProCab. Thanks from Pennsylvania.

[@thebritishrailroader]

Thank you my dear friend and glad it has helped.

[@andybmodelrailways]

Great tip Steve my Powercab was set to 3 recalls and I have 4 locos I normally run. Problem now solved. 😊

[@thebritishrailroader]

You are most welcome. It's good to share this stuff where we can

Hi Steve, I have also had the NCE for about two years, and recommend it without reservation. I did however find that some of the instructions did not match reality, but the whole system is intuitive so not too much of a problem. Some more mini tutorials on the NCE would be very useful. Have a great Christmas.

Hi Clive. I know what you mean. As I discover more, I will make more videos. If there is anything you think of, let me know and I will film it.

[@Steven_Rowe]

I like videos like this that actually help people.
I subbed

[@thebritishrailroader]

Cheers mate, much appreciated. Let me know if there is anything you are interested in seeing me do. I have done a few if you look at my older videos but want to do more going forward.

Awesome video as always

[@thebritishrailroader]

Cheers mate 👍

[@andrewblake2254]

Good tip thanks! I think the R/C Powercab is a five amp system. Not sure which system you were demonstrating as i could not see it.

[@thebritishrailroader]

@andrewblake2254 it is the smaller Powercab so has a max of 2 amps but I believe it Functions the same way as the Procab etc

[@andrewblake2254]

@@thebritishrailroader yes it does, very much the same.

[@Rocketed12]

So basically, Recall is like the memory setting for radio stations on your car's sound system 👍

[@thebritishrailroader]

@@Rocketed12 it is just like that. It will recall the last few locos you have used

[@csxrensville5105]

I'm always checking the instruction book and a still can't figure it out! 😂

[@thebritishrailroader]

It's not clear at all is it. I always thought they were great but have significant gaps
