Hi Don
Curiouser and curiouser I am running MTS2 and when I posted my query I was using a 55016 remote. Your post prompted me to try the 55015 one and I have a slightly different result.
Using the 55015 all 3 lights at one end stay on and so does one tail light irrespective of the direction of travel but sometimes using this remote all the lights dim.
The MTS was s/h and did not come with instructions. I have d/l a set but they are on the other PC currently in use by SWMBO. I have to say that I haven't got to grips with them though!
My krok is 27402 (Blue 75 year GEX version) but I believe the decoder is essentially the same.
I have downloaded a copy of the 55015 instructions. Here is the relevant section.
To reset all function values of the decoder to the
factory pre-set values, you first have to switch from
programming mode "C" into programming mode "P".
Press the round "Halt" button (between the arrow
buttons).
The display now shows .
Now follow the instructions for the item you want to
program.
55020 MTS Decoders can be programmed only in
programming mode "P".
Here is an extract of the loco instructions
To reprogram the factory pre-set
function values with the 55015,
select programming mode “P” (displays
shows “P --”). Then input 6, 5,
and 5 and press the right arrow button.
The display shows “P --” again:
Input 5, 5, and 5 and press the right
arrow button again.
Let me know if that's not clear enough and I'll see what I can do to help.
Incidentally, do you have a programming connector with your 55015?
Programming MTS components with the Universal Remote
With the Universal Remote, you can program all MTS Loco
Decoders, MTS Switch Decoders (55025), MTS Rolling
Stock Decoders (55034), MTS Braking Modules (55063)
and MTS Loco Number Readout Modules (55082). To program
with the Universal Remote, remove the insert with the black
cable or the Wireless Transmitter. Replace it with the included
programming insert:
Press both textured clips at the top of the remote inward
and carefully pull out the plastic insert.
Slide the programming insert into the remote.
On the programming insert are four colored wires:
- Connect the yellow and green wires to the transformer
(minimum 2 A). We recommend the 50110/50111
AC Transformer.
- Connect the brown and white wires directly to the
MTS Switch Decoder or to an unpowered programming
track, onto which you place the loco or car with the
decoder you want to program.
After you have assembled this setup, plug the
transformer into a house current outlet.
