Hello all,

I am new to the forum, so i am sorry if this is not the right place. I would be glad if anyone could help me.

So, the issue is in the description. I have a PIKO 59789 locomotive, which was digital, but no sound. I have now decided to put sound on it, so i bought a plux 22 loksound 5 off ebay and asked the seller to add this sound to it:

I have installed the new decoder, but the locomotive started acting weird. It doest accelerate as it should, it doesnt stop as it should and also the sound doesnt match the movement. I thought it wasnt programmed correctly but just in case I have decided to try it on another Piko locomotive i have. To my surprise sound and drive was perfect. I have then tried it on a Roco model - same deal. It drove and sound as it should. Then it got even weirder. I tried the decoder (piko 4.1) off the other Piko locomotive on the CHME3 - it ran and sound as it should. Then i tried the decoder off the Roco model (ZIMO) on the CHME3 - same deal - CHME 3 sounds and runs as it should. So i guess the issue is only with this new Loksound 5 decoder and the Piko CHME3 locomotive. I tried several different CV tweaks, but all in vain. And after all, the decoder works perfectly on the other two Locos, so all settings should be solid.

Any ideas?

Hi,

It cant be a connection issue, since all the other Plux 22 decoders i have run great on the model and the decoder i took from this model run great on all the other locomotives i have. A person i found on the internet said that the motor on the Piko CHME3 is different, thus requiring other SV settings. He gave me a list. I did all of it. The model starts and runs smooth now, but doesnt want to stop. Perhaps i need to change something else.
