My MS2 does not recognise it. Any advice would be gratefully received. Mancsaint I was too quick to ask, this is an older version of the Delta where the address is set by soldering. Thanks all. mancsaint attached the following image(s):

Just out of curiosity Juhan, that page you list on it is a reference to "Dr König's digital site", its gone "poof" and wondering if you know of another source ? Sorry for butting into Sean's thread.
		Sad when its cheaper to buy a new 29640 starter set from Germany than a CS2 on its own in Oz, welcome to the joys of Marklin down under .

Sean Cheers Sean, I was just about to post that link, lucky I checked first. A awful lot of really interesting information for "Delta" and other stuff on that site but a lot of dead links as well. Could be worth while someone with more brains than me to see what's worth trying to salvage from it before it all trickles away. Prefer the Barossa ones myself...... before I stopped drinking a few years back

Cleaned and oiled things, with a gentle nudge, off it went, a bit hesitantly initially but soon ran well and at top speed. It looked as if it hadn't been run for a while, so it needed a bit of TLC. I will get some spare bulbs and that should solve the problem with the non working light. Cheers Sean
