Model Railroading > Athearn Genesis SD70ACe w/LED's Flashing Ditch Lights??Date: 06/08/19 12:18 Athearn Genesis SD70ACe w/LED's Flashing Ditch Lights?? Author: BNSF3888 I have a Athearn Genesis (68866) SD70ACe BNSF #9356 with T-2 and LED's. I have almost pulled out what's left of my hair trying to get the ditch lights to flash when you press the horn button. Can someone educate me on how to do that.
Thanks in advance. William Date: 06/08/19 12:28 Re: Athearn Genesis SD70ACe w/LED's Flashing Ditch Lights?? Author: stevenlsilva bnsf ditch lights do not flash with horn that is NS and CSX

I don't have a BNSF SD70ACe with T2 thou I have a UP one and it has the ditch lights connected to FX3 & FX4 outputs, if BNSF is the the same then: Set CV 51 to value of 201 This sets FX3 output to ditch light type 1, A phase, Grade crossing active, & LED type Set CV53 to value of 233 This sets FX4 output to ditch light type 1, B phase, Grade crossing active, & LED type Also best to set FX3 & FX4 to same Function number so set both 1.259 and 1.260 to same number that matches the function number you want to use, ie set both to 3 to use F3 to turn them on and off. If factory installed decoder then both probably arlead at F5, if retail decoder was installed then they are at F25 & F25 Michael Mosher Millville, NJ Date: 06/08/19 17:48 Re: Athearn Genesis SD70ACe w/LED's Flashing Ditch Lights??
