@SRman this is why I assume he will have the original files

Surely you alway have the original file that you purchased for the specific decoder as that is what is supplied when you buy the file for loading onto the decoder? You can re-install that file onto the decoder as often as you like, but what you cannot do is install the file onto another decoder.

Zimo decoders work at 20kHz (default) or 40kHz with bit 5 of CV112 set. The default will be used by almost everyone and all my locos run perfectly using the default value with 20kHz. I have a mix of iron core (3 and 5 pole) plus several coreless motors.

But have you seen it and played with it? Looks and feels like something out of the 1980s 😒

There is also the option of a glass mimic panel which can be very effective - JMRI would give you it for free and iTrain Lite will provide the functionality for around £100.

There is also the Lenz LW150 which will operate a mimic panel and integrate fully with any digital control system used.l that has XPressnet https://www.coastaldcc.co.uk/products/lenz/lw150-mimic-panel-module

The model numbers for the MTB motors with inbuilt decoders will be DP1 DP4 and DP10.

Which ever way you go you need to create a separate accessory bus and a track bus. The track bus needs to be fed through a cut out device that will cut the track power when you have a short from driving to a turnout set against a loco or wagon (inevitable). On the turnout motor front if you use IP Digitals then you do not drive them through anything because they have the decoder built in. I also suggest that you keep your eyes on https://www.dcctrainautomation.co.uk/ and look for MTB turnout motors. They will soon be selling a motor that as the MTB MP4 but with an inbuilt decoder that will be better than the IP Digital 😉

The Roco supplied router (made by TP Link) is a fully compliant DHCP server and it will issue out to any devices that request and address which is why you shouldn’t use it on your home network as you may end up with up conflicts. if you use it as a standalone network (as recommended by Roco, and why they supply the router) then the Roco WiFi MultiMaus or the Roco Z21 app on a phone/tablet are issued IP addresses by the Roco router. You can also connect a computer to the routes to use something like iTrain or DecoderPro then it will also be issued an IP address. All addresses issued will be 192.168.0.x

I think you need to restate what you are saying, especially as it doesn't line up with the post from @WalnutHill

You need to open the program from your program list, or type YD6016 into the search bar and it should show you the program

Have you tried reprogramming the address on the motor? This is a reasonably common issue and simply reprogramming often cures it. If it does and it happens again then you will need to send the motor back with proof of purchase and they will exchange/repair for you.

Why do you need this information? You don’t say what you are using and many command stations provide this information already. i have this available from my Z21, but I find simply knowing if the track is on or off is much more useful.

Surely the easiest way to determine whether there could be an issue with these controllers is to contact Hornby as they now own the H&M brand and are therefore responsible for the products that were sold.

Which button are you pressing and which command station is in use?

I would expect that you only send the 'suspect' material. Afterall they are only testing the bits for asbestos, I wouldn't expect that they will have the skills to disassemble items (and rebuild if no issues are found). Afterall, if you find some insulation in a building you ain't going to send the building - just a sample 😂

You might find a problem trying to connect to this range. I also presume that you are using a 255.255.255.0 subnet mask - rather important bit for advice for people ;)

If you are really concerned about whether it has asbestos or not then buy a kit and test the suspected item. There are lots available online, here are a few; Asbestos testing kit Cheapest appears to be around £15

I consider your response somewhat disingenuous, especially given the huge amount of assistance that I have already provided to you both here and on the iTrain forum. There is however point at which it has becomes obvious that you are not using the material already available to you, taking the advice, nor undertaking the recommendations and guidance that you have already been provided. iTrain is a full featured, complex product and people such as myself and other forum helpers who are providing the benefits of our experience and help for free, in our spare time and generally extremely quickly expect that you try to help yourself before you start asking questions, especially ones which are fully described both in the manual and in an extremely comprehensive set of video tutorials, and easy to find. What could be easier than this index in the manual to find the answer to the question that you posed here, which had already been answered by another forum helper and that I had stated you would find in the manual. Not only that, simply clicking the line takes you to the exact paragraph in the manual.

The transient spike in the DCC signal that these frog juicers can create is problematic for anything that is connected to the DCC, not just loco decoders, nor just those from DCC Concepts. I am 99% certain that the advice from them will be to fit 'snubbers' or 'filters' across the DCC Bus or Busses to quench these spikes. You can buy these from DCC concepts for around £9 a pair, or you can make them yourself for a few pence using a 100Ω or 150Ω, 0.5w or 1w resistor in series with a 50v 0.1µF capacitor.

What is CV53 in ESU for? That would be a good place to start looking for Zimo equivalent 😉

The questions you ask have nothing to do with sales, and the answers I have provided you are designed to help you learn the product when there is a need to clarify, or explain something that is not clear. When the answer is very obviously in the manual then I will direct you to read the manual. There is a complete paragraph in the manual, which is linked in the index, that provides a very clear explanation of what you wanted to do. If you have read this in the manual then you will know how to solve this in the future using either the method described, or the alterative that was also provided to you (and is also shown in the manual). This, and other forums, and the people that provide the answers are not a substitute for you reading the manual for the products that you have purchased.

As i said look in the index - answers are there and very clear

You have been told the iTrain forum how to do this with one method and as I told you on the iTrain forum, if you look in the document index or Appendix A of the manual then you will find the answer shown very clearly for another method. You need to learn these things for yourself, asking everyone here, or anywhere else for a solution all the time doesn't help you learn DCC or iTrain and things like this are fundamental to being able to use DCC and iTrain effectively. I'm sorry, but you need to start by helping yourself and only ask questions where there is a real issue, not when you can't be bothered to read the manual.
