I'm currently planning to use one of the Lenz Gold decoders in a Fleischmann diesel I'm converting for DCC - one feature in particular interests me. I've read in the literature about these decoders at www.mackaymodels.co.uk/ that they can have an additional small power storage unit soldered on (guessing this is some form of battery or capacitor) to enable them to handle breaks in the power supply (like dead frog points, or dirt spots). I'm mainly wondering if anyone has any experience of using this feature - how good is it, how big is the battery, that sort of information. Any advice would be welcome!
