Does anyone know if the LGB MFX equipped locomotives have a CV programming lock? The reason I want to know is I have an LGB MFX locomotive that is factory equiped with a Massoth Round Boiler pulsed smoke unit. I want to change some settings in the pulsed smoke unit and don't want to comunicate with the MFX decoder.
LGB MFX Decoder PROGRAMMING LOCK?

Neither idle nor a marvel
I don't think they have. Also I think the pulsed smoke unit is connected to the motor decoder directly possibly using SUSI. I am not 100% sure on this as I have had three LGB locos with factory fitted sound and pulsed smoke (Saxon 1K, Saxon VIK and Rugen 0-6-0 with tender) and in all cases I never found an option to program the pulsed smoke generator independently, or had the nerve to take them apart. If I changed the loco motor address the smoke generator still worked on the new address which is why I think it may not have its own independent decoder. Sorry not to be definitive. Which loco do you have?
