I have a problem where MS2 goes to stop by itself when driving the loco with all smokes. This happens pretty quickly after exhausting the cylinder smoke. MS2 shows 1,1 amp consumption at that moment. Othervise the loco seems to consume 0,6 amps. So the cylinder smoke roughly doubles the consumption. After 1,1 amps it takes about two secs for MS2 to go to stop. Is there cause als effect here? Is there any chance that the vaport causes short and MS2 hits stop for that? I thought the MS2 amp limit is 1,5… Can I hook in more powerful switched mode powerpack or does the software control the amp limit? Trying to avoid buying CS3. All help is appreciated. Thanks! -Eino

So something is wrong when you start use MS2 with ESU loco. I did tested once with ESU switch loco with Loksound 5 and it was problem by use MS2. What version do you have now in the MS2? It is possible that the soft ware program in the MS2 cannot control Loksound 5. Check with another loco and it works normal with the MS2?
