Thanks for all of the comments, will bear all of these in mind. I have about 10 older locos some from my child hood, so would like to just clean these up and run as DC, I don't think it's worth trying to convert, and a lot of these dont have many pickups anyway. I will just literary be running one ...

Many thanks, the track is very clean, but I have been suspecting it's short circuiting and sending it mad, so you may have just confirmed it for me.

Hi,

I'm helping a friend out with an issue he has on his N gauge layout. He just recently purchased a class 37 Graham Farish loco. Put in a 6 pin decoder. All works well at the start, a nice slow start, but there is one part of the track, that it just briefly stops, and then goes off at full speed ...

Thanks for all the replies, and yes the one thing I hadnt done was to swap the cables (white and blue) so done that, and it came to life. School boy error. I was worried about blowing the bulbs.Was confused as I thought the Common return they called it was negative so had it on the wrong anode. So ...
