<P>Cacole and Robert as much as i like and respect you two blokes, i must tell you in this instance you are incorrect; as i have already done it. Thanks for the advice on this other bloke Robert, i will look into it.</P> <P>My problem is that, when switching to DC for braking, when your loco is programmed for DCC running only and this DC braking is a pre set function. But it seems to me to be in my instance very reliant on polarity and as i have designed and built my own PCB (printed circuit board) it is really hard for me to reverse polarity.</P> <P>As well, would this polarity effect be altered epending on which way i enter the block that will have DCC or DC on it? I will only want it to work going from east to west and the other wouldn't come into effect anyway.I have actually made two of these devices and i suspect the polarity required may be different in each case.</P> <P>Those blokes who reckoned i was out of my league in the section over DCS MTH are remarkably absent from this discussion;. i would love to hear from them and we will soon see who is out of there league and who isn't.</P> <P>To conclude, this does work and although i would rather do my braking in assymetrical manner i would need to replace all my decoders some 15 of them with Lenz Gold ie about A$1,500.00.</P> <P>Rgds ian</P> <P> </P>
