My MS2 using ver 2.3 software has reverted to using German as its primary language even though English was selected. When I started up the system this morning my MS2 had lost its memory and I had to have my locos (MFX) reinstalled which the MS2 did on its own. Seeing that the unit was using German when I tried to enter a none mfx locomotive. I went into the MS2 and selected English as the language to use but it still uses German on its readouts. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. At least for the moment I can run my locos but any changes to their running characteristics can not be made due to the use of the German language which I don't read or speak. Thanks, Sandy

There really should be a ROM source the file/data set and a 'restore to factory settings' reset one can do stand-alone to get back up and running. But apparently not.. as Märklin didn't think this was an occurrence that it had to handle. I wonder what caused it to get into this bind.

I don't have access to a CS2 so that possibility is only available if I sent the unit off. There aren't many if any other Marklin train operators nearby that I'm aware of. Also have no idea if the database is there as all information is in German. You are right Minok, Marklin digital does have its drawbacks. Thanks again, Sandy
