Afternoon all

Cleaning more locos and trying to run some on the new MS2 ended with limited success.
I was trying to register the Borsig 3602 but had no luck, tested the loc on an analogue track and it did work so I know that the loc is fin.
The MS2 did not find the loc so I have tried to log it manually. The loc address is 07 (dip switches, so I guess that it is MM coding switches") but I could not get a "0" in the address field of the MS2, only a "7". I did try with "7" but nothing did happen. Then I have tried to load from the data base using the model No. 3602 but nothing. The address should be factory set as I have the loc from new and have never change it, yet I wanted to check by opening the tub but could not find a way, any hints? Also, any ideas about the registration process? What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Ben

For a 3602 i would expect the factory set address to be 53 as it is a full digtal loco, not a Delta. The Marklin standard was to have the first two digits of the loco class as the factory set address, so this being a Br53 I would expect the address to be 53.

Hi Ben,

The tender comes apart by taking out the screws holding the bogies. Check that the address DIP switches are set to what you think they should be.

I have found that the "Find Loco" process doesn't always find locos, and it's possible that the MS2 could benefit from a default reset. Try resetting the MS2 and then doing a manual entry.

For the manual address entry you use the + and - keys to set the address, so if you are trying to enter digits individually there's something you're not doing right.

Good luck!

Thanks. Will try with 53.

Thanks for the tip about the tender.
A default reset? The unit is new from the box, never been used before.
I have used the -/+ keys but had no '0'.

Thanks you guys.

Ben

A light bulb moment. Is the '0' comes after the 9? I need to check, that might be the answer.

CS2 agrees with MS2 that the default address should be 7 which corresponds to dip switch on at 2,5 and 7

OK, they must have decided they filled up the address space then.

I don't follow what you mean. When you are setting up the new loco entry, after you specify the DIP switch selection, you are then prompted for the address. It starts with default address "1" on the screen. If you press the "+" button six times you will get to address "7". That's it, you've set the address to 7, or 07 as it is written in 2 digit format. You don't need to enter a preceding zero, nor is there any way to do so.

Once you have address 7 selected you press OK and it goes on to prompt you for the loco name, with the default "ABC" showing on the screen. After that you enter the pictogram and then the setting up is finished.

If this is not working then there may be a fault in the decoder.

Hi RayF

Thanks very much. What you described is exactly what I have done, the loco didn't want to move and lights didn't come on. Will try again and see just in case I've done something wrong. In any case I want to upgrade to sound so will not lose much sleep over a faulty decoder.

Thanks again

Ben

Good evening and Happy Easter to you all.

All trains that refused to move are now in motion, yet one of them has a strang symptom that I don't understand. it is the 3471 TEE Delta. The lights will not stay on when the loc is not in motion, i.e. the MS2 even does not allow the option (I guess) as I don't get the bulb symbol or even any 'F' buttons.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi Ben,

This is normal behaviour for older Delta locos. It imitates the way the lights work in analogue mode, ie. Lights on when train is moving.

The MS2 will not show any functions for Delta locos selected from the database.
