I bought the 29483 starter set. The two curved turnouts in that set have motors and decoders installed. They respond to the keyboard addresses 1 and 2 on the MS included in the starter set; however, I cannot get them to respond to my CS2 keyboard. Do you know why this may be the case?

I also do not want to have them permanently assigned to addresses 1 and 2, and they are permanently attached to the turnouts. There are no dip switches on the exposed side, so how do I change the addresses? I am used to using the Viessmann decoders, which are programmable, but you have to have access to their backsides for that. Do you how to change their addresses?

Thanks.--MM

Hi, Michael!

Make sure red and brown are not swapped at the track connection. Make sure CS2 is not set to DCC for turnouts 1 & 2.

DIP switches should be on the hidden side.

The dip switches seem to be unavailable due to the plastic posts the decoder sits on being melted (riveted).--MM

Can you post a picture of the exposed side for comparison? To make sure whether it is a decoder with DIP switches.

I don't see a picture: "mvmascagni doesn't have anything available to you."

Hi Michael,

It is not riveted onto the post. Just carefully pull it up from the 3 posts to expose the underside where the dip switches are located. The decoder is just pressed down onto those posts to secure it.

Regards

Paul

Yes. Sometimes they fall off as soon as you turn the turnout around, sometimes it takes a little force to get them off.

This a test to see if I can embed the picture I wanted to embed in this post. It is only a test.

Amazon Cloud Drive, not so good, so here is from Google+? It worked, and the trick is to get the URL of the image that is shown.

GOOD!! I have several of my students working at Google, and they have served me well!!!--MM

You were right, thanks!! Here is a picture of the decoder flipped over with the cell phone repair kit I used to gently pry it off the plastic posts.--MM
