It doesn't say the decoder is powering the LED correctly. <br /> <br />What you need to do is get back to a known working point and start again from there. I'd suggest desoldering the LED and replace it with a bulb and verify that that works. <br /> <br />If it does, then you know the decoder is powering something. Next re-install the LED, but use some surplus/excess wire that you can cut. Wire the LED as before and test. Don't hold it while you're testing. <br /> <br />If it doesn't work, reverse the wiring and see if that works. <br /> <br />If that fails, try another LED. <br /> <br />Hope this helps, <br /> <br />Mike Tennent <br />
