>>7511633Actually I figured it out based on my programming learning with my two MP15AC's. I have #459 set up so that its strobe light turns on with the headlights, so I don't need to use F1 to activate it (and therefore trigger the bell on #453).
Apparently my Kato SD40's decoder is backwards. I have the lights turned off completely via programming since it's the middle unit of a lashup. I just hope the decoder doesn't fuckin melt. I might have to dick around with trying to fix that tonight if I get my steam servicing finished. My 2-10-2 was stored in some retard's damp storage unit and I suspect she needs re-lubing in her drive gears, and definitely on the side rods.
