Something that slipped my aging mind. When I first started in DCC Lenz decoders didn't come with plugs so we made our own. We made them from machine wire pins that come in 40 pin lengths. Now these come in two differnet styles standard height and low relief. As I was fitting them in US diesels at the time the low relief pins were the go. Now In Australia I got them from Jaycar electronics shops so I would guess a good UK shop would stock something similar.

QUOTE (Brian @ 20 Feb 2006, 22:31)DD I have a small number of newer locos that have manufactures fitted DCC 8 pin sockets with blanking plugs fitted (For DC running) and I also have some decoders without 8 pin plugs, just fly leads. Hence the need for the 8 pin plugs.
I thought I could reuse the manufacturers blanking plugs, but craftily they don't provide all the pins!
ALL Thanks all for the info I'll be e-mailing suppliers ASAP
