Is there a straight forward way to ammend LOco addresses using a programme track on the CS3? Or do you have to amend CV values?

All modern controllers have a function to change the address - a function that takes care of all 4 DCC CVs that are involved.
It is overly complicated to change the CVs directly. |

Easy for mfx decoders in loco. Edit mode. For non mfx, mm, with dip switches, you just match the address setting in CS3 to the address on the loco. For other non dip switch decoders, you set parameters preferably on the program track. If not, that can be the only loco on the layout. Follow said decided instructions for address, etc. With some, you just br sure to turn on headlights first, or they won't come on after assigning a new address.

Hi Here is the home screen to loco parameters (address) It is reached just after pulling up the loco table (red tab below), selecting modify locos and selecting the loco to modify. The loco must be on the programming track  In this particular case, the loco is MFX so the address (shown in grey) cannot be changed but can if MM or DCC. Cheers Jean |

With some non-Märklin locos you have to turn on the lights while changing the address, otherwise the lights will always be ON and cannot be turned OFF. Check the manual that comes with the loco. However these decoders are old and rare. They were meant to be used with old Delta Controls. |

A lot of these questions need not even be asked if people would just RTFM. Guess I'm a little testy this morning.

Yes Roger You are in a bad mood  . The CS3 manual is not the greatest but indeed there are a lot of videos to see on Youtube about the CS3. Yes sometimes they are a bit old like this one but still helpful The full manual can be loaded here https://streaming.maerkl...3_Manual_EN_final-lo.pdfCheers Jean |
