I’m starting this thread, with the hope that Bob can move the existing thread, in its entirety here, where those that are truly interested in the progress of the assessment, and sharing of knowledge can continue to meet without it turning into a blood bath.

It has progressed well, but is past the point of being a thread that can be considered a “General Topic”.

It should in my opinion, be moved BEFORE it deteriorates into name calling and stupidity.

Thank you in advance for your consideration Bob.

Fred, I agree. A clean slate and fresh discussion would be nice. Again, I ran mine today, and mine is still running fine on DC power.

Already went to name calling by Mike Moran… I’m not posting any more on this topic, you will have to follow it on my site. (I deleted all my posts on the other thread after his name calling and complaints)

And I did update my page today, seems trying to blame this on Zimo won’t wash. I found the extra components on one of the dummy boards too, so am investigating what could make this fail.

All I was trying to do is share with others so they don’t blow up a DCC decoder either. Bachmann might also wind up being encouraged to do a little more research first next time, i.e. good suggestions might be incorporated in future products.

One small addition to this story regarding the mtc21 and NEM-MOROP standards in general.

Several years ago NEM-MOROP took down all the English language material from their site and they were looking for someone to do new English translations of the material. Something that could have been right up my alley (according to their requirements at the time) until … I inquired why the old pages were removed.

Turned out that some of the English members found the applied English not quite native English enough. Which put “paid” to my interest; let those English members use Google - or whatever - or learn German or French.

PS It’s all in the translation e.g where we add a decoder to an engine, the Brits chip an engine.
