Both locos are fitted with LGB "onboard" decoders, suitable for serial & parallel control.Does anyone know if the black and yellow loco’s in the LGB 70255 / 72255 Digital Starter Set are compatible with parallel digital controllers?
The 70255 set was supplied with a Serial central station and controller but I think I’m going to have to upgrade to a Parallel system in the near future.

Well I did not know about the F9 switching between serial and parallel……now I know why some of my locos F functions scroll through in serial Mode.All newly MTS locos added to the parallel stations default to serial on first use. You need to hit F and then 9 to activate parallel operation. Doing this a second time reverts you back to serial. Also this needs to be done after changing a loco's address!!!! Non LGB engines can have CV29 changed to allow serial operation, Zimo decoders can do this.
