I had a lot of trouble getting the decoders to work on an LGB GE4/4 II. Here are a few things to consider: - Make sure you have matching 55021 Decoders (version 2.5). Make sure you open the box and check the revision number on the decoder before you buy it. LGB has shipped different versions under the same part number. - You will need a decoder interface cable (55026) if you engine does not have the decoder direct sticker on the bottom. This cable connects between the pins on the back side of one of the decoders and the male plug on the circuit board in the engine. Without this, the engines will still run, but the panotgraphs will not work. - The back EMF funtion, only available on the 55021 decoders, is a must if you are running on short radius (R1) track. This eliminates slow down in the turns anf makes all the difference. IF you are using 55020 decoders, return them for 55021's. - I can make pictures of my decoder installation available if you provide an e-mail address. I got a lot of help from Davis Trains in Milford, OH (www.davistrains.com). They know the MTS system inside and out. Even when you follow the instructions, it does not always work. RHB627
