FAQ TT Scale

In the vehicle there is an additional controller for the light functions on the vehicle board.

This controller works like a SUSI function decoder and can be set as desired via CV programming. The CV table in the PDF provides information about the programming to be used.

The numbering of the outputs is to be considered independent of the numbering of the locomotive decoder.

The following applies to the additional controller of the BR 93 TT:

A1 -> chassis lighting
A2 -> light red, front right
A3 -> light red, front left
A4 -> light red, rear right
A5 -> driver's cab lighting
A6 -> light red, rear left

The output of the controller for the firebox can only be controlled by the PIKO SmartDecoder XP 5.1 Sound Next18 #46551, as it is specially linked to its "coal shovelling" sound.

If necessary, please activate the output of SUSI data on your decoder. Some decoders are set by default to output simple logic levels instead of SUSI data. Please refer to the manual of the decoder manufacturer. PIKO XP decoders activate SUSI data output when bit0 is written to 1 in CV47.

The locomotive decoder installed in this model has two special function outputs A1 & A2 which are used for train rear lighting.

Therefore, there is an additional controller for the mentioned light functions on the circuit board.

This controller works like a function decoder and can be set as desired via CV programming.

The CV table in the PDF gives information about the programming to be used. The numbering of the outputs is independent of the numbering of the locomotive decoder.

For the additional controller of the BR 150 applies:

A1 - driver’s cab lighting FS1
A2 - driver’s cab lighting FS2
A3 - engine room lighting

If necessary, please activate the output of SUSI data on your decoder. Some decoders are set by default to output simple logic levels instead of SUSI data. Please refer to the manual of the decoder manufacturer. PIKO XP decoders activate SUSI data output when bit0 is written to 1 in CV47.

In the analog version the solder pads are as follows:
"S1" = open
"S2" = closed

Before installing the sound decoder (#46441) it is necessary to change the solder pads:
"S1" = closed
"S2" = open

PIKO SmartDecoder 4.1 Next18 Sound:

Our TT locos (Taurus, Hercules and BR 151) are equipped with a standard NEM 358, but have no close coupler guide.

This is why, when using the new Tillig* close coupler and  the close coupler from other manufacturers, the distance between the locomotive and waggons becomes very short so that "over-buffering" and associated derailment could happen.

To solve this problem we offer under the article numbers #46040 and #46041 corresponding close coupling adapter.

All other models have close coupler mechanisms and therefore require no adapter.

Wenn das Schlusslicht (rot) separat ein- und ausgeschaltet werden soll, muss die Verdrahtung wie nachfolgend gezeigt umgelötet werden:

TT Talent II - digitalized with PluX16 Decoder (46121) - problem with interieur lights From the interface, the PluX16 decoder provides two additonal function outputs. From the NEM those outputs are assigned to the red train-end-lights. But to realize further functions like interieur lights we had to find another solution.

The PIKO TT Talent II has an automatic white-red light change per direction, where the red lights cannot be controlled separately. But by default the PluX16 decoder is programmed to "create" a light change according to the NEM, where the output A1 will only be active in one direction. Due to this the interieur lights are working incorrect.

But this is easy to change by modification of some CV values:
-with sound:
To make the interieur lights shine permanently, please change CV107 from 3 to 0.
Now the interieur lights can be controlled seperately via F1.

-without soundkit 46191:
Change CV107 from 3 to 0. To avoid interference with the sound functions, please change following CVs also:
CV904 from 3 to 0 - F1 will not activate sound anymore
CV905 from 1 to 3 - the engine sound is not assigned to F2
CV910 from 0 to 1 - the horn (prior F2) is now on F7
