Blinking light. As I cannot push the generator more up I put a small tape in front of the connection plate so it do not hit the chassis. Not the best solution from M, they could isolated the plate in the front. Thank you for your help Gentlemen.

But, yes I have a question, in the last weeks it have become a strange behavior. When I turn the layout(CS2) on it start to smoke, to stop it I have to turn on a function, anyone, it does not matter. I can turn off the current to the track and turn it on again, everything is normal, no smoking. It is only when I turn the CS2 on it start to smoke. In normal it works perfect with all functions. I have reset the decoder but it have the same behavior. I have 2 MS connected to the CS2. For me it look like the smokefunction is in analog untill I send a digital command to the decoder. No other function turn on by them selves, only the smoke. Could please somebody give me an advice? Funny: In the start of this tread I have no smoke and now, I have too much Thanks. Torstein
