4.50 from paddington

I have just tried again using the manual, and I believe I have cracked it. I found the manual rather confusing. I have been using a Bachmann dynamis for a few years which I am pleased with, but it only gives you 20 functions. I have purchased a SLW Cl 24 and needed something with more than 20 functions. Thanks for all your help, I must repair damage to wall caused by head, then follow the road to alcoholic oblivion. Good night to all.

. Yes this is the manual but there doesn't seem be a section on reading a decoder address.

I have just returned from work and I have followed your instructions, but when I get to "set up address and press 1" all I get is "ACTIVE ADDR: LONG on the top of the screen and SHORT ADDR: with 1st digit flashing, which is prompting me to set my own address which I think is a short address. Whatever I press it does not read back the loco address which is already in use. Am definitely going wrong but I don't know where. Thanks for your help anyway

I have just purchased a powercab and the instructions are difficult to follow. Icannot progress farther than step 7 on page 2 of the manual to read the loco's address. can someone tell me where I am going wrong

I help out in a model shop 1 or 2 days a week. The first issue of the model arrived and were tested and seem to run well, but one customer reported smoke coming from underneath the loco and a smell of burning. He took it off the track,but he hasn't contacted us since. We have now received a sound version of this last loco. I tested this loco using a b'mann basic e-z command controller. Switched everyone on but nothing happened, cleaned track and tried again, sound came on loco moved slightly then went dead. Took loco off track and cleaned wheels with isopropyl alcohol and cotton bud. This seemed to cure the problem, could it be that this loco is overlubricated?
