TronXP, are you still looking for a DCC55 cable? I have one I no longer need

Hi, Been looking for 1 of these for myself, but only for 2 days, been searching and reading web forums etc, it is suggested that MRC/Gaugemaster are no longer going to produce these, they were designed by this company https://xlsystemsdcc.com/ who sell directly throught Ebay - 124737098273, this is the 1st listing I came across, there may be others.

Hi Nigel, Thank you for the detailed reply, I will try again tomorrow with the installation of have and then jmri. I will also go through your explanation and when the instructions are in front of me and see if I can work out what I need to do. Regards Rusty

Hi Nigel, Thank you fro the reply, 1 - for the moment I will rule out the Lokprohramer, a lot of money for just 1 change. 2- I did try the JMRI, installing Java 1st, but on opening the program I kept getting Java Launcher exception error, I tried on 2 computers wit the same result. 3- I think my brain was over taxed reading the manual, I don't know if its just the way it is written but I cannot get a grasp of the logic rerquired. I am used to the TCS instructions that are writted very clearly and logically. May be its the format of the instructions, but I can't even figure out which CV control the AUX1 & AUX 2 lighting. Regards Rusty.

Hi, I just fitted a Loksound V5 to my Heljan 52 ( OO gauge ) All works well except the head/tail lights. They both come on at the same time in the direction of travel, with nothing at the rear. Previously a TCS decoder was fitted with no problem, every thing worked as it should. Having fitted over 50 decoders, mainly TCS, but Bachmann anf Hornby TTS as well I am fairly familar with CV settings and changes but the Loksound instructions just leave me totally baffled. 1, Is there an idiots guide to understanding the ESU decoder and how to make basic changes ? 2, Any help on how to change the headlight/tail light settings would be much appreciated ? Regards Rusty
