Lubrication
The axle bearings should be lubricat-
ed occasionally with a small amount
of LGB Maintenance Oil (50019).
Cleaning
This model can be cleaned externally
using a mild detergent and gentle
stream of water. Do not immerse this
model.
Replacing the light bulbs
Lower lights:
Pull the lantern hous-
ing away from the model. Remove
and replace the bulb. Reassemble.
Upper lights:
Remove the ring
around the lantern lens. Carefully pry
the lens away from the lantern. Using
tweezers, remove and replace the
bulb. Reassemble.
Cab light:
Using tweezers, remove
and replace the bulb.
Replacing the traction tire
- Use a small, straight-blade screw-
driver to replace the traction tire:
- Pry the old traction tire out of the
wheel groove.
- Gently insert the new traction tire
into the wheel groove.
- Make sure that the traction tire is
seated properly in the wheel
groove.

MTS Onboard Decoder
Programming functions
You can program numerous func-
tions of the onboard decoder to suit
your requirements. If you want to do
this, program the “function values”
in “registers” (CVs) using a PC and
the 55045 MTS PC Decoder
Programming Module. You can also
program the function values using a
55015 Universal Remote.
Hints:
- For normal operation, it is not nec-
essary to change the function val-
ues.
- If programming results in unsatis-
factory operation, you can repro-
gram the factory pre-set values of
most important CVs: Program reg-
ister CV55 to function value 55.
This also reprograms the loco
address to the factory pre-set
value.
To reprogram the factory pre-set
function values with the 55015 (dis-
plays shows “P --”) input 6, 5, and 5
and press the right arrow button. The
display shows “P --” again: Input 5,
5, and 5 and press the right arrow
button again.
You can program the following registers:
Register Function
Available
Factory
values
pre-set
CV1
Loco address
(00..22)
[3]
CV2
Starting voltage
(0..255)
[5]
voltage for speed setting 1 - if loco starts only at a higher
speed setting, increase value.
CV3
Acceleration (1 = fast, 255 = slow)
(1..255)
[3]
CV4
Braking (1 = fast, 255 = slow)
(1..255)
[3]
Hint:
When programming with the 55015 Universal Remote, the following CVs are pro-
grammed by input of the number of the desired CV in CV6 and then input of the desired func-
tion value in CV5 (see example below).
CV5
Max. voltage
(1..255)
[255]
Voltage for highest speed step - if a lower top speed is desired,
decrease value.

CV29
Configuration [4]
Normal direction:
4 = Analog and digital, factory-programmed speed steps
0 = Digital only, factory-programmed speed steps
20 = Analog and digital, user-programmed speed steps
16 = Digital only, user-programmed speed steps
Reversed direction:
5 = Analog and digital, factory-programmed speed steps
1 = Digital only, factory-programmed speed steps
21 = Analog and digital, user-programmed speed steps
17 = Digital only, user-programmed speed steps
With "Analog and digital:”
- Loco can operate on analog and digital layouts
With “Digital Only:”
- Normal operation on digital layouts.
- Operation on analog layouts not possible.
CV54
Hand-off function and “Back-EMF”
(0..3)
[2]
0 = hand-off function off, Back-EMF off
1 = hand-off function on, Back-EMF off
2 = hand-off function off, Back-EMF on
3 = hand-off function on, Back-EMF on
Hand-off function on: When operating with 55015, you can
adjust direction and speed for two seconds after selecting a
moving loco without causing the loco to stop.
CV55
Reset of most programmed CVs
55 = most important CVs are reset to the factory pre-set
values
CV60
Back-EMF: Max. adjustment factor (0: small, 255: large)
(1..255)
[10]
Specifies the max. increase or decrease of voltage applied
during each time interval (programmed in CV61)
Attention!
The factory pre-set values of CV60 and CV61 are
optimized for LGB motors.
