We recommend a Lokpilot with the custom.file installed from the ESU website in order to work all functions. Which gaugemaster decoder are you using?

Best Wishes Chris get an ESU blown with the file is the best option you’ve got in my opinion… admittedly I tweeked mine so both markers and headlight came on with F0 and headlight off on a different function.

I'm assumung you've checked that 59659 works and doesn't damage the circuitry connected to pins 4 and 13 in the locomotive ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
