I have tried two new smoke generators to test if the smoke generator was the problem, but the results are negative. Just want to try to reset the decoder to see if resetting will activate the smoke function. I have similar problem with 43992 "Behelfsgepaeckwagen MDyge 986 mit sound". All functions ok but light off and on to the connected coaches (43993)does not work. Loderunner

I have a 1 ga, 55413 or better know as 41 069 to the CS2. When initially trying to fire up the lok, the address showed up as 16. The manual shows 40 & 41 I'm guessing that 41 was for the telex off the tender. Lost contact with the lok the first day , and let everything set for the next day. When trying to "reset" the decoder the decoder reset at 17?? Oh well! Next day the decoder fired up as 16, yes as 16. Decided to see what update decoder was all about and got 5, yup a 5 During these trials, all sound functions seemed to work. Did not want to use smoke at this point. So far to me when re registering the lok, the only constant was the name, IE 41 069, with the proper icon. Off topic, I am more than please with the lok, and functions, its a Beast!! Best Regards, gene

The manual shows 40 & 41 I'm guessing that 41 was for the telex off the tender. The manual shows two MM addresses while the CS2 shows the mfx address. So there is no contradiction in the information you present here, as these are completely unrelated aspects. The MS2 cannot show the mfx address, so Silvano cannot see this information.

Joined: 04/02/2011(UTC) Posts: 3,124 Location: Paris, France		Hi Ton Principle: reset is done by writing value 8 in CV 8 On 6021 key-in the decoder address Turn the speed control to the left as for a direction change and keep it that way while pushing the GO key Now you are in programming mode Type the CV number (08 in this case) two numerals Turn the speed control as for a direction change, now the loco is blinking Type the value for the selected CV (08 in this case) two numerals To confirm, turn the speed contral as for a direction change To leave the programing mode, push the stop button I hope this helps This is the translation of a French post at (http://trainminiature.discutforum.com/t4318-programmation-lokpilot-control-unit-6021-marklin-i). Thank you to Evolution Cheers Jean
