Jamie. Jason. Thank you very much for the time you have taken to answer my quistion. Have stored it for referance. Cheers Guys.

I repeat who said it was INFERIOR, maybe I should not have said cheaper, I would also add the fault has been found. The Loco is running perfectly. Give you my ebay ID. Not likely, I see the prince of darkness & his disciples looming

No its not on, more so as you have not read my listing, what do you know anyway.

Who said, the buyer has actually received this Loco, And did I say the replacement was inferior. Who are you anyway.

OK. Lets explain. I sold this Loco on ebay. I decided to replace the expensive decoder with a cheaper version that did the job just as well. Before this was done the Loco worked fine. As I said, once I replaced the new decoder I was getting a No Response error when trying to set this decoder to default. PS.I never run a Loco after decoder fitting without going into Program mode first.

Recently had cause to replace a 21 Pin Decoder in a Dapol Diesel Loco. The Loco was working fine up till then. Re-fitted a new Decoder and on powering up the decoder went up in smoke. Replaced with another, only this time Loco will not program, or show any sign of life. It has been suggested that one of the soldered joints on the socket has failed. ( Dry Joint ? ) Any other ideas Guys.

The Question. Before the A4s had double chimneys fitted. How many ran in BR Green and a Corridor Tender. ​I am sure you guys have the reference books to give me the answer.

Anyone have an opinion of these Decoders at £12 each.? Cheap decoders have not always performed well thats why i ask.

Assume you have checked out the instruction manual ?

According to the NMRA Listing. 131 is. Trix Modelleisenbahn. Who ever they are. Sounds Germanic to me.

I use DCC80s. Not had any problems. May be the decoder as some have suggested. It cant be a short otherwise your system will shut down. The only thing I can think off. Are the point blades and the Rails they contact Clean ? As stated on this Forum many times, Re-Badged Decoders can be a bit iffy.

Just mention that my experience of this decoder has not been positive, because of that I would not buy another. For another few pounds you can get a Zimo.

Yes Rail Rom Electronics. Find it in the drop down menu.

Some of mine are 15 years old and still performing. I would think that providing you dont do something silly should be fine. Early mistakes I made doing Hot Wiring did set fire to a few.
