Yes, Pikestuff kits come with so much extra awesomeness. I love them. [quote user="IVRW"]I also got something for you guys which might just save my DCC system. My hobby shop guru said whenever you call up a locomotive's address, it fills up a slot. Every few years, the slots have to be emptied and reset in order to call up another locomotive. Is shorting out a characteristic of full slots? If so, then how might I reset the slots, as poor grandpa forgot to include the manual.[/quote] I'm sorry to hear about your grandfather, John. I've had almost half a dozen friends get diagnosed with various forms of cancer (two of them my age) and all of them are now fine, physically if not psychologically... [V]What DCC system do you have? I have the Digitrax Zephyr and can walk you through the process of clearing the selected locos. BUT, this would not cause shorting so I doubt that's the problem. I'd connect your DCC system to a single piece of flextrack and see if it shorts with no loco, and then with a various selection of engines (to make sure it's not one engine that's the problem). If there's no short, it's your layout, rolling stock, or engines. If it's a short, it's the DCC system. Locate the problem before you try to fix it...
