I’ve recently bought a LGB 21471 rack engine, which has a MTS sound decoder fitted.
Trying it on my system using a DIGITRAX DCS51 controller and a Gaugemaster prodigy 2, I get no reaction whatsoever. It makes no difference what address I put in, the engine is simply dead. Likewise on DC totally dead. Reading CV 1 returned a break in circuit response…
The engine has been sent back to the retailer where it was bought. They’ve just phoned me to say they tested it on a Maerklin DCC set up and it works perfectly! On a couple of other systems they have, there was very limited functionality. So…
My question is, is there a specific CV setting that enables all operating systems to work? Is there a DIP switch that needs to be switched on?
The retailers have tried a factory reset and it made no difference running perfectly well on the Maerklin system!
Advice please as I do really like the engine.
Cheers
Martin
