- Hello everyone, I am eager to share with you my latest acquisition: Piko 59700 locomotive which resembles a DB V200 Lok, Expert line, produced in 2012, Direct Current, PluX22 interface for digitizing.
I was told by the owner that it is stock, but I discovered later that it has a digital decoder with sounds. However, it appears to have the wrong digital decoder, a PluX16 instead of PluX22.
I didn't even know that it is working, my beliefs were that you cannot install one instead of another. Well, as you can see, you can. It works. Well, not all functions, but it works.
The PluX16 DCC decoder is definitely an ESU Loksound v.4 NEM 658.
One moment I thought it could be ZIMO, but all of ZIMO`s motherboards are black...
I will buy handles, wagon couplings, and some traction tire rings regarding all other cosmetic issues. And a good cleaning as well.
Anyway, I am very pleased with this newcomer, as the V200 was already on my short shopping list!
Any development on the issue with the decoder? Actually you should try it on a real track. Why? Because I had a decoder that was set to reach maximum speed after 40 seconds!!! The acceleration was a nightmare. So the loco is crawling in the beginning and with a short track you will never see the top speed. Also stopping was set to 20 seconds from maximum speed.. Just to let you know, these are programmable through CVs. So maybe your decoder is just fine :)
Hi..have you try to reset your sound decoder? And after that try to set the value of CV 2 and CV 3
Hello, nice to have you here. No, I didn't try to reset because I don't know the producer (even I'm pretty sure it's ESU, I am not sure what model it is), I haven't any instructions, I haven't reset yet another decoder, I'm afraid I will lose the sounds (if it is sold by ESU as blank decoder, reset will erase all sounds)... I'm not sure what to do.
@@Next-oc3qg if you reset using cv 8 will not erase the sound
@@keretaminiHO I will try!
