I did read that ESU did just upgrade new version for the Ecos.
You can now run 31 functions with the M4 (mfx).
I´m not sure if this can been done too with Märklins locomotives with 31 functions.

Well spotted Anders...

Here is the release document:

Release Notes for Software 4.2.0 for ECoS 50200 / ECoS 50000 / Central Station Reloaded
=======================================================================================

Features:
- Improved M4 support for up to 31 functions on new M4 decoders
- Consist now supports more than 10 locomotives per one consist
- Added option to Reset Mobile Control II's Mini AccessPoint
- Updates Bachmann's Dynamis Ultima firmware to Version 1.8 (allows up to 40 locomotives using RailComPlus)


I will check the number of functions with the little railcar.. It is Marklin mFx - the way it reads suggests only new ESU M4 decoders..

I am going to give the 10 locos in one consist a try.. Soon..

The article Goofy and Mark refer to specifically mentions new / latest Marklin locos

I thought that the 39952 had 32 functions - it has 22, but you get the idea..

Awesome stuff... Thank you ESU.. Smile

The only bad news about the update is that every mFx loco on your layout registers after the eCos reboots.. It is understandable as previously, the loco only had 16 functions and now it has 22 and the eCos is unable determine this without rescanning (registering) every loco..

I also updated the Mobile Control II to version 1.1.2 - The first impression is that it seems to be faster..
