Hi enM and welcome to MRF.

What is the decoder you have in your loco? It will help to know.All new loco's comes with the default adress of 3.
77 is a bit odd. Try reseting the decoder value to factory preset values by writing 8 on CV 8 and see what happens.

Did you have Ecos read all the CV's from the decoder at the "advanced screen"?

Don't worry you'll have plenty of help here. You sure this is a new loco not a second hand one?

..er sorry enM, I know there are more qualified people here to comment on this but Hornby decoders and the Ecos don't fit that well. One is a state of art control panel whilst the other.... I am sure others will comment on that.

Hi enM,

We now know its a decoder problem. Your Ecos is perfectly functioning. (phewww)
Lots of decent decoders in the market. Rob's choice of TCS decoders are good. Since yours is a shunter a lokpilot mini might also serve the purpose if you are short of space. Just check around and good luck.
