My question is will this decoder have enough separate functions to support a) smoke generator b) running lights Thanks in advance Andy

Everything works ok... movement, reversing, lights etc... The trouble is the sound is that of a diesel locomotive... The decoder was recognised on my ecos 50200 as an mSD/3 diesel.... and activated it with M4. I have tried to reset the decoder with CV 8.... but this has not worked... How do I get steam sounds or do I send it back to the dealer. The Box was unopened and was clearly labelled as p/n 60985. Thanks in advance Andy

With the right tools (CS2 or mSD decoder programmer) it could be programmed to steam. Since you are using the ECoS, you should probably return it to your dealer for exchange or reprogramming. Cheers, Gordon

Joined: 27/03/2004(UTC) Posts: 50 Location: ,		Dear all I got the replacement decoder 60985 and installed it in my br03 steam engine from start set 29845. Now I get steam sounds, lights & movement. But the smoke generator & running lights are not working. As shown in the manual I have connected the old smoke generator wire (brown/red) to the decoder green wire (aux 1). The running lights wire (brown/green) is connected do the decoder violet wire (aux 2)via existing resisters located on the running lights circuit board. Does the factory installed smoke decoder need resisters?. All the other wires are connected as per the instructions. The ecos 50200 recognises the loco & functions. Please can you help in this. Thanks Andy
