    Mantua 2-6-6-2

    So, it looks like the LC manual applies, which I appreciate. So far, the bell, which used to ring continuously, has stopped. I even turned it on, then off again. Thank you !!

    Mantua 2-6-6-2

    It seems that Soundtrax does not publish Configuration Values for my OLD decoder. I have some CVs to look at but it's a long shot. If I wanted to replace the decoder, there are probably a few which would work. I'm assuming I would have to cut the covering so as to unplug it, and then re-wire it...

I may be able to simply change the decoder ...... not cheap, but I think the loco may be worth it. It is powerful...

    Mantua 2-6-6-2

    Does anyone have the CV's for a Mantua 2-6-6-2. If not, anyone have the CV's for ANY Mantua loco. Both Tyco and Mantua are no longer producing, so I could not find any product support.
