If you have your DCC80s wired up and track live and you bridge the insulated fishplate on the vee to the outlet track (first to straight ahead then the reverse track ) can you hear the relay click. If you can try running a loco through it. As I said previously I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. cheers Malc

I have used DCC80s for some time and have found that some locos do not "trip" the unit. Bridging the insulated fishplate with a screwdriver would activate it, I have replaced them with GM 500D relays and all is ok. hope this helps. malc

Hi Ian, thanks for posting the silver seal guide as it is a future project for me when I have rewound a 1970s duchess of Sutherland armature, I have just competed a rewind and made a new commutator for one 70s d of s now I have to sort wiring to enable a decoder to be fitted in the future. I do like the tender drive ringfields at least you can work on them. Cheers malc

Any progress with this issue? malc
