Updated Information To Our Valued Dealers and Customers,

Important Update on Norfolk Southern GP15-1 DCC Reprogramming:

We've previously instructed a fix on NS GP15-1's after learning that the front ditch lights were not functioning as intended. Well, now Soundtraxx has made the reprogramming even simpler: by adjusting CVs on a DCC-equipped layout or section of track and the front ditch lights can be corrected to their as-intended configuration; directional operation, with the ditch lights alternately flashing when the horn is blown.


To complete the modification on your Norfolk Southern GP15-1, the following CVs will need to be changed (* Please note these values are revised from previous bulletins):

CV51 = 41
CV52 = 57
CV57 = 17

This adjustment should only take a few moments to accomplish with most DCC systems (please check the Owner’s manual or other documentation for your particular brand of DCC system for guidelines on adjusting CVs), and should result in the intended operation outlined above.  

If you have problems please contact us at help@athearn.com

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Your friends at Athearn
