Loco 26544 stopped running on digital layout
MS 60653
DECODER 610761
I have been attempting to program this loco with new address because it may have been changed by accident. The lock manual has procedure if using 6021 . Been trying unsuccessfully using different approaches in 60653 manual. Is the 610761 decoder a DCC, mm 2 programmable etc? Does it matter the type it is when using MS 60653 to program? Can the 60653 be used?
As I noted my attempts to get this loco running again have been futile. Can someone present a step by step procedure to set the parameters on a loco 26544 with 610761 decoder using the 60653 mobile station?
I presented this problem in a previous thread but that thread got hijacked. It has more info. Labeled stopped running on digital layout. As you may be able to tell I am getting flustered and appreciate any help in finding remedy and learning at same time

1) Do you have any other locomotives? Are they working fine?

Yes

The problem is with the lok

No

The problem could be with the lok or with the MS2

Step 1) Reset the MS2

Place locomotive on the track. Use MS2 to identify the lok. It should hopefully find the Re484 Cisalpino (or whatever it is called) in the database.

Step 2) Select enter lok manually. Set MM value to 01. Test to see if lok responds. Change value to 02 through 80.

You should be able to find the address that the lok responds to.

Do you have an older analog transformer? If yes, connect it to a section or two of track. Does the locomotive respond in analog mode?

If yes, place the lok back on the digital track and see if it now responds to control.

If you do not have an analog transformer, take a 9V battery, connect one terminal to the wheels and the other to the slider. Leave connected for about 30 seconds.
Place lok back on the digital track and see if it now responds.

The lok address should be 24 from factory.

For the MS2, look through the database for 36850/51/52 or 36606
See if the locomotive responds now

36606 instructions (same as 36850) but updated for MS2

Why did you start a new topic for your problem that was already being discussed?

The answers you have been given here are the same as you were given before.

Okay, I started the new topic because there were no new responses since the post from the other newbie. The new topic I started yielded new info like the type decoder etc. Since I'm not real experienced with my MS2 , it took the different explanations and outline of steps for me to understand. I did do a reset of mobile station。I performed a loco reset before I reset the mobile station. When I placed the loco on track, mobile station was powered up, the loco started slowly rolling down track. It stopped after moving about 4 track sections. The mobile station did not show any locos. I tried FIND and database entry. Still no joy. I was wondering, when I reset loco, does the loco reset to 24, the factory setting? Might be a silly question question but need to be sure.
When I run loco on analog, or using the 9 volt batterysetup, how does that affect loco and digital discovery?

Well, I'll be dipped in dog poop....Everything reset, went through the change loco menus and when I changed the address and confirmed the lights flashed....I knew things just got better. The silly loco works as before, thanks again for all your patience and help. I wanted to add that I did get a loco manual with the set but no loco card. It helps and hinders. Till next time:))
