One for you digi technical guys.

Have a prob with my LGB 23330 MOW Tractor loco...

Flashing roof lights that operate off the F1 command are not doing that,
just both are steady on, checked all other F buttons, just to see if they do anything different, but ok
Just F1 and 9 are the working ones.

All CV listed in the instructions are as per, stated Loco address excepted.
Anyone ant idea which one makes the lights alternate flashing....

Had the problem once before it turned out i had pressed another function button that put the lights on all the time...not sure what it was though just took it off the track and started again and then pressed f1-f9 in order until problem disapeared.

Are you using a massoth controler? Massoth chip as you can set it to 16 functions or are you speed steps correct14-28-128? also can effect the light control

CV 55 (F1) or CV 57 (F2) need to be at something like 129 for flashing lights.
(any value slightly over 128)

Looks like a good result Gordon. I have just looked at my Kof shunter - with the flashing lights (from the starter set) and its also set at 50 (CV54).
Cant work out what 50 relates to but happy that its working for you.

Must admit Alan when i read your post about the two CV's was when there was a flash of inspiration,
one of those lightbulb ping idea sort of moments.

Which has set me wondering how may CV's are/can there be and what do they all do....

Maybe a topic for another thread, and why not.

Yeah Gord, 2CVs were diabolical vehicles. Tended to go round corners using the doorhandles as stabilisers!

In 1985 I was departing Calais dock on the ferry and noticed hundreds and hundreds of anniversary model maroon two-tone 2CVs awaiting their turn to be exported to merry ole England to wreak their havoc on the unsuspecting population. They were very impressive looking so looks can be deceiving.

Have been reading you post CV50 sets the voltage for lighting terminals. CV51 is F1. CV57 is F2. ASs I only have LGB I use 55045 Decoder programmer and Windows PC graphics so things are easy.
Hope this is helpful
