I bought a Mobile Station 2 (60653) and connection box (60113) and it stopped working. It's a loc NS1100 (art. number 3327) with a 6090 decoder. On its own Mobile Station 2 cannot "find" the loc, so I had to program it manually. Even then, no frontlight, no movement. Anyone any idea what I could have done wrong? I've tried several addresses, but nothing. When I go back to Mobile Station (Mikado), everything is fine. TIA for any suggestions.

The 6090 decoders have DIP-switches from where you can read out the address via the address tables in instruction sheets that accompany every 6090 loco or download the "switch" software available here and put the switches in the program to what they are in your loco. However, you need to open the loco to see the 6090 switch settings.

Indeed, webmaster, I opened the loc and know what the value is of the dipswitches. At the moment this is set to address 72. I followed the instructions of the manual as follows: New loco > Enter Manually > MM2 Coding Switches >Domain 72 > OK Give it a name and symbol. That's it. At the moment one of the frontlights is burning, but it cannot be switched to the other side, at is can only be swithed off with the Stop switch. Thanks for further advice.
