I don't understand the difference between: Free Loco and Remove Loco ???? If someone has a clear answer .... Best Regards Joël

Next time you place that loco on the track you will need to add it again if it is not mfx. If it is mfx it will register itself. "Free loco" I'm not so familiar with, but I believe it frees the slot on the 10 available slots you can access directly, but keeps the loco in the MS2's loco list. The use that loco again you need to either use the "Find loco" option or "add from loco list".

So if I understand, "Free" only will show an unused slot but will keep the loco parameters - even CV alterations - somewhere in the MS2 memory, and then configuration will be retrieved the next time the same loco will be added. And "Remove" will show an unused slot but will erase the loco parameters - even CV alterations - somewhere in the MS2 memory, but keep the database safe... Am I correct ? Best Regards Joël

Best Regards Joël CV alterations are stored in the decoder, so you won't lose those when you delete the loco. You need to understand that the MS2 can store 40 locos in its loco list, but it can only display 10 (+1) on the display and only these will be available for control. "Free loco" keeps the loco in the list as one of the 40 but not one of the 10 you can control. "Remove" loco deletes it from both lists.
