I want to see if the dip switches are set for analogue. I have no idea how to do that. I also need to clean and troubleshoot, as while the lights work and grow in intensity, the loco refuses to move. Loco 3050--ditto with the need for a manual. This loco only works if you pick it up such that only the pick up shoe touches the middle power stubs. When you set the loco on the tracks, it does not move. What could be the problem? Does it also have dip switches? Transformer 37547 10V. Is this one of the transformers that can damage a digital loco if put in reverse? With many thanks Peter

Any other position of the switches means it is set to a digital address. The other items I have no experience with, but for the loco you need to pick up I think I would check the motor brushes. If they are worn down there may not be enough power through the motor when it is loaded for it to run, but when you take the load away bu lifting it then it can turn. The fix will be a new set of brushes.

Rule of thumb: If it was made for former mains voltages (110 V, 220 V, or 240 V) then it most likely is a potential risk for certain decoders. If it was made for a current mains language (120 V or 230 V) then it is most likely safe. Better get a 6646, 6647, or 6647x to play it safe. Do you have a voltmeter to assess the reversing voltage? 28 V AC is the critical mark.
