    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.
  16. shibushe
    I had exactly the same problem with a Next 18. The advice was, to do this. Turn the Loco the other way, if it still does it, then the decoder is at fault.

    I must admit that it was a rather cheap decoder that I just keep for initial DCC testing. I will try a better decoder and see if i get the same result.
  18. shibushe
    What can cause a decoder to feel hot to the touch ? and I mean HOT.
  19. shibushe
    IF, its not an earlier model, then its possible the lighting contacts are not touching between the body and PCB. Have had this problem my self. A gentle bending up usually fixes it.

    Hopefully i am in the right place. I wish to rename & number a A3. That has a corridor tender, & smoke deflectors. ( Not 4472 ) Most i know had GN Tenders. Thanks in advance.
  22. shibushe
    Playing around with this cheap decoder was a waste of time, so have fitted a Zimo MX600R a make I would normally use anyway. Without any adjustments its so slow it will take a week to get round my layout. Now I know where I am programming it to suit me will be a doddle. Lesson learned i guess.
  23. shibushe
    NEITHER WILL I.
  24. shibushe
    Thanks for tips guys. Will have a play with CV 2 see what happens. The Loco in question is a Hornby A3. Brand New. Loco drive. socket in tender. I must admit the decoder is Cheap, bought from Digitrains.. Laisdcc, dont know who makes it.I would not normally change CVs 5& 6 until its fully run in. Report back later.
  25. shibushe
    Having fitted a new decoder to a new Loco drive Loco. I find the speed is to fast at step 1. I did a reset to default 3 just to make sure there were no variables loaded. I am aware this Loco is not run in, cant see that would make any difference. Thoughts any one.
