Hi Andrew That is a good question and one i can try and answer but dont take my word for it you can program a 4 digit address ranging from 0000 to 9999 and short address from 1 to 127. So far I have 15 locomotives programmed in and have no trouble so I would easily say you can do at least 100 maybe more. Hope this helps. Peter from Birmingham
Hello I think in would definitely work with the pro cab as tge Pro cab has alot more functions that the power cab doesn't. Glad you liked the video and I hope it helped. Peter
I followed your instructions but noticed with engine sound running pressing the horn button 2 when the horn activates the engine sound goes quiet or off momentarily and comes back on which does not happen on 94
@@chelmswoodjunction I assure you the engine sound goes off momentarily while say you activate the horn but comes back as the horn finishes it is almost imperceptible but I heard it .By the way the video was extremely helpful and well thought out .
If the smoke generator is on a function key then it should work by turning that function on if it's not refer to your instructions that came with the loco. Hope this helps. Peter
Then all you will need is the computer interface module then you should be good to go but do your home work first as I have never gone down this route before. Peter

You can ONLY program 12 locomotives with the Power cab and Run from 4-6 N scale at one time. 👍👍
Does this work for the procab?

Activating the horn shouldn't lower the engine sound

Hi good evening, can i control the steam loco "smoke" with NCE powercap ? or loco automatic control smoke based on sound ?
If the smoke generator is on a function key then it should work by turning that function on if it's not refer to your instructions that came with the loco.
Hope this helps.

Hello, Is it possible to hock up as SB3a to JMRI.
What dcc controller do you have and to use jmri you would need a dcc computer interface and I don't know what a SB3a is
The NCE SB3a is the earlier model of a NCE SB5
Then all you will need is the computer interface module then you should be good to go but do your home work first as I have never gone down this route before.
