I have a 33021 in a white box that says `delta and digital systems` but as soon as it touches the track it wants to run. My father ran it on his analog layout, is there something I need to do to have it run digitally? Thanks, Jeff

I have uploaded an image of the Delta address dip switch settings for you. THe address is on the left and the corresponding dip switch setting is on the right. Rick

The mobile station finds the loco but it starts running as soon as I take it off stop, with no control over speed. My father ran it with the old blue transformers, I’m guessing that may have messed something up. I’m thinking of replacing the decoder and adding one that also has sound. Jeff
