You might want to contact Broadway Limited. They've been very good with me when it comes to possible known defects. They replaced a DCC plug on a used Blueline C30-7 I bought and both decoders in a Paragon2 E6A/B that was more than a year out of warranty, at no charge. Worth a try.
As the title says.
I have a Broadway limited Y6b where the decoder malfunctions.
It loses connection with the DCC and has a strange short.
When measured, I got an open circuit from the tender pickups to both sides of the drive wheels simultaneously....
I was thinking of ripping it out and replace it with a Econami 200 steam decoder.
Anyone has a schematic to show where the wires from the loco plug goes?
And, is it possible to connect the smoke system to it?
Any tips are greatly appreciated!
