  1. Garfield, DJ, Si2020, Thank you all very much for all your help. Loco 018 is out of the works, and back in service where she belongs. All functions up and running. Thanks again. Controller.
  2. Hi Simon, I haven't tried those functions yet, I didn't know they went up that far. Shows you how much I know about decoders. Have to go and do some work now, but I will give them functions a try in the evening. I will give the lads in IRM a shout about that decoder function list. Thanks for all your help. Controller. Thank you DJ, Your a gentleman. Controller
  3. Hi, Thanks Simon, that helps a great deal. I saw a list of all the functions for this decoder on the forum some time back, I should have printed it off . The problem remains about the lights, headlight, cab, engine room, none of them are working. Hope you can tell me what I am doing wrong. Once Again Thanks, Controller.
  4. Hi Garfield, I tried a different decoder (one from my MM 201) in 018. The same problems occurred. No F4 5 6 or 7 . The headlight came on with F8, but in the wrong direction. No cab or engine room lights. I don't know if the problem is with the loco or the decoder. Thanks, Controller.
  5. Hi Garfield, I will give that a try, and get back to you. Thank You, Controller.
  6. Hi, I finally got a chance to put a EMD Sound Decoder (from IRM) in to my A class loco 018 (superb loco). F1,F2,and F3 work fine. F4,F5, F6 ,F7 and F13 are a no show. All the rest work fine. I am using a Gaugemaster Prodigy Advance controller. Someone tell me what I am doing wrong, please. Thanks, Controller.
  7. Spot on, took 134 out of the box and compared it to the other two, much brighter. Controller.
  8. Thanks for your replies. I have locos 125,131 and 134. Maybe the lights were meant to be like that, best left alone. Controller.
  9. Hi, I am running the loco on DCC. I am afraid now that if I increase power to the bulb, I might blow it. It is a very small LED. Controller.
  10. Hi, Is there a way to increase the brightness of the headlight on the MM121 loco?. At the moment it is very dull. Thanks, Controller.
  11. Murphaph, Sorry about the confusion. I read the instructions again, that came with the van.(The PCB contains an eight-pin DCC decoder socket). When I bought the van from Marks, he told me they didn't have the right decoder, the only one he had was a wired one, and the wires would be seen hanging down in the compartment. That made me think that there was such a decoder without wires. Back to the drawing board. Thanks, Controller.
  12. Murphaph, I had a look at the decoder you suggested. I has everything I require, except that one is wired . The one I need is a eight pin direct connection. There is not much room in the van, and the wires would show. I will ask the lads in IRM if they have any, or maybe they can tell me where I can get the right one. Thanks, Controller.
  13. Murphaph, your a gentleman, thank you. Controller.
  14. Thanks NIR, Again, good advice. I would have come to grief before I even started. Can the proper decoders be purchased online, EBay perhaps?. I could take a look, if I knew which one to buy. Better safe than sorry. Controller.
  15. Thanks Murphaph, It's always good to seek advice from the experts. I don't want to blow all the lights before I get a chance to enjoy them. Maybe IRM might have some, or know where to get them. Thanks Again, Controller.
