Many thanks for posting this. I am sure that it will come in useful at some time. I may just even try it out on my test track.

Hope it's of some use to one person. Only with more people changing over to Massoth and reading their version of the instructions and the ammount of trouble I encountered trying to set mine up, I thought put pen to paper so to speak.

Any way give it a try Jon

BTW you need track contacts. Bridge the two outside contacts together. 17100 type. This also can be adapted to give an intermediate stop

Phil (bahn), getting serious about this now. Just to clarify, M1 and M2 are these LGB Track Contacts? If so what are they connected to, a standard relay set up that is possible with LGB Switches?

Jon sorry I was assuming you had read the Instructions. On the Navigator at the top under the display are three buttons. Reading left to right M1 M2 M3 this is what the M numbers refer to.
The track contacts are 1a & 1b

See page 26 for wiring of contacts.

Inside the 17100 are two diodes the two outer screws these must be joined together. I take it you have MTS or Massoth Jon
