Evening all. So I have a Heljan 33 with Lenz silver decoder which will frequently short out the dcc system. Usually over most points, sometimes on straight track and this behaviour can always be induced by physically stopping the loco with one's finger, whereupon the shorting will instantly occur. HOWEVER, … if I disconnect the power to my points decoders board, ( a DCC concepts ads-8fx), the problem vanishes, as completely as the pound coin in your pocket on the approach to a motorway toll booth.
The loco also runs perfectly on DC.
All my other locos are unaffected. (They also use Lenz decoders).
My system is a sprog / jmri which, this particular issue aside, I find amazing in terms of what it can do, (and for under £50 quid too).
Is anyone else experiencing anything similar?
