  1. Thanks and apologies to all of you who contributed such detailed replies. I had assumed that any replies would pop up in my email as per the jmri forum. I did think it a little odd that no one had chipped in! Haven't had any real diagnostic time due to (life) but I'll certainly insert some plasticard as a first port of call. I also believe the loco is more prone to this behaviour when another loco is also running on the layout which seems to point a finger at the small (iirc) power supply for the sprog. Although, I find it weird that upon removal of the points decoder board from the system that the problem never occurs, even with three locos on the go. Now that I know that you guys are here I'll keep you posted, and thanks again.
  2. 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?
