Hi, I started of in DCC with 2 LocoMaus units and they were fine, but are a bit like having just a throttle, they are not really a stand alone controller, so recently I managed to pick up a cheap compact on ebay and have heard that Lenz annd Roco are the same sort of thing, but was not sure whether the locomaus would accept being plugged into the Lenz (They are both the same connection). I have also heard of some sort of modification needed for the Compact for it to work with a roco unit.

Anyone got any info / ideas, Thanks.

Which LokMaus is it? 2 and 3 will go with Lenz as they were made by or with lenz technology. I'm not sure about LokMaus 1 as ity had some compatibility issues with Lokmaus 2 and 3.

its a locomaus2, so it should work then? Thanks

My Lokmaus 2 manual says that "The new Lokmaus 2 is fully compatible to the actual devices of the Lenz digital plussystem (X-Bus and XpressNet).
Not surprising really when you see that Roco digital equipment is made by Lenz.

Thanks guys, just tried it out and it works fine, no problems, so for others for future reference a Lokmaus2 IS Compatible with a Lenz Compact controller!
