Nights Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Hi I was amending the address of the loco from 2 digit to 4 digit addressing, all seemed to be ok but when I went to try the loco on the main track nothing. I put the loco back on the programming track and tried to read the address back and now it comes up with 'Error reported by digital system: No acknowledge from decoder'. I am using Roco Z21 and programming via RR&Co train Programmer. Any help would be appreciated, even if it's to tell me where in the UK I could get it repaired. It was bought in Germany whilst on holiday over a year ago so out of warranty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haymarket47 Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Hi, do you have any other locos to rule out issues with the system? Have you tried programming via the Z21 on its own? Sorry, don’t know much about RR & Co so can’t help you with that. You could try giving A and H models in Northhampton a ring, I’m sure they sell Fleischmann. They may have reduced hours at the moment though, check their website. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nights Posted May 15, 2020 Author Share Posted May 15, 2020 Haymarket, I had been updating other locos prior to this one with no problem. I tried just going through the Z21 with the same timeout problem reading the loco decoder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jml3p Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 can you put the blanking plug back in and try it on DC? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s also a chap on YouTube called Hovermotion. He has an excellent European HO layout and regularly tears down models including Roco/Fleischmann. He might be able to offer some advice?

Nights Posted May 19, 2020 Author Share Posted May 19, 2020 I have retried the loco again today and lo and behold it's working again! Must have needed the capacitor to lose all it's charge. Thanks for the advice though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
