Okay Randy... Roger that.
In a couple of days i'll get an GP35 from the US of A, WalthersProto. I will put the decoder in that one directly and see what happend. (the other loco's have 8 pins, so i need a converter cable which i dont have)
Well, sending the SD9 for repair to the US... expensive is only the first name. We see what the seller says.
I'll be back,
Thanks! :)Pete
A small update.
Just got the GP35 loco, a beautiful model but a little fragile.Took it out of the box and demounted the shell, by then 3 part had fallen off...
Okay, placed the GP35 on the test track to run DC, and it was a "jerky" ride. Took the loco of the track and messured the voltage from the old Fleischmann trafo on the rails - the voltage jumped up and down like a kangaroo, no wonder it did not run properly... trash can!
Installed the NCE decoder for a DCC run, and... "jerky" ride!
Even tryed another wall outlet to be sure of everything, no luck.
I think the next step will be to send the multiMAUS-kit to the hobbyshop and let them give it a shake down.
Actually the kit was sold with a "special price", so it may't be a very special controller, we will see.

Hi Guys!
Back with an update again...
Problem is solved!If it was an easy solution, well, sort of... i just bought a new cab system.NCE PowerCab
My guess is that the European Roco cab is not up for a marriage with the American decoders since it have such a greate voltage output, something is not clicking as i should.
I sent the Roco System for a "repair", but it was working superb they say'd - with the Roco loco's.
With the NCE cab the Proto GP35 was much softer and smother without any adjustment of the settings.
Thanks for all you support Guys!Regards,
