FAULTY DCC DECODER – how do you know?

FAULTY DCC DECODER – how do you know? Have you ever had a locomotive simply not working, you checked everything: cleaned wheels, cleaned pickups, adjusted the pickups, sticking or binding mechanism but nothing works. Well it COULD be the decoder. This video explores a DCC tester unit by ESU. In this video I: - I give a guided tour of the unit. - Explain how I use a plug and play system for simple and quick connection of a controller to a layout or other end user ‘device’. - Show how the unit connects to a dcc controller. - Test a few dcc decoders of varying types. - Final thoughts.
