Bachmann has released a entry level DCC system to the market, to simplify the programming developed a procedure not currently used by other manufacturers. For reasons not clear it would appear that Bachmann committed to manufacture before realizing this.

According to Jim at NCE this means that when attempting to program a engine equipped with a NMRA comparable decoder such as the NCE all locomotives on the system will respond to that broadcast.

The simplest solution is to remove ALL locomotive [s] not begin programmed by the system from the track, program that one locomotive. All locomotive [s] can now be placed back on the track, the problem is in the method not the addressing.

All NCE decoder support baseline programming.
