I have checked all my stock for CV values (OK so it was raining and I was bored).
CV 8 returns the manufacturers identity code, mine are either 153 or 101. I know that the 153s are manufactured by TCS because I fitted them myself. The 101s came ready fitted with no supporting data sheets, and I suspect that 101 is Bachmann.
Question! is there a list of manufacturers codes anywhere? The reason I ask is that according to the data sheets that I have, the lighting control CV on one of my 101 equipped locos is set to a value that is not within the range called up, however the lights work as intended.
If I can positively identify the decoder by Manufacturer, I may be able to get hold of their data sheet relevant to that decoder, I thought that all CV addresses would be the same for all decoders but maybe not.
