An update on my problems with the Bachmann decoder equipped GP50. I have taken the plunge and removed the board from the geep and replaced it with a TCS A1 Decoder. Well the difference is amazing. The geep now runs very quietly and smoothly at all speeds, and the vibrations thru the shell have ceased. I have not connected the lights at this stage, preferring to fit white leds when I can get to the nearest electronics shop (100 klms away) and replenish my stock. One thing, the loco now starts suddenly when the throttle is cracked, but this is at a low speed. Conversely, the loco stops dead in its tracks when reducing the throttle, but before its finally closed. As I can't adjust the momentum with the Bachmann E-Z Command Control, I will have to have the guy at the shop adjust it for me. In conclusion, this is what I was after in the first place, a quiet smooth running unit. I am happy now guy's. Regards David
