I have a new MS2 and am trying to get it to recognize my locs as marklin Motorola decoders rather than DCC. I recognized on e initially, but not the other and when I trying resting the MS@, I find that it only recognizes then as DCC. I can't find them in the database (S 3/6, BR18.4 and BR E 40) and I can't get any functions to work if I enter them manually. Under DCC, they go a one speed with no control except stop. The locs are from a 7-8 year old digital starter kit.

A related question -- These have been packed away for a few years and the set originally had a 6021 control unit. It worked fine when put away. Now, when connected to the transformer, no lights come on. There is power out of the transformer. My guess is that it's a lost cause, but does anyone have a suggestion for checking it out further?

Any suggestions for either issue?

Thanks, the 29855 seems to work from the database and found the other right next to it. I can't seem to get switches (74460) to work, though -- they were coded to keypad 1 when using the 6021, but are not responding to any thing that I've found so far. DO you know if they need different dipswitch settings?

Will pull out the 6021 and try again, double checking the connections.
Many thanks!

Interesting. I double checked all the connections and now find that I can get keyboard 1 settings 1, 2, 5, and 6 to work, but no others??? I tested all decoders on these setting, and they work fine, but only for those for switch numbers. Any suggestions on this issue?
