Hi all,
Having a gaugemaster loco tester for DC and i can see the amperage pull before conversion to DCC, but how can i test consitently after a conversion epecially for sound equipped locos as i have heard because of the addition of sound they pull more amps. i am running N guage.
I have seen locos are stalled to read the amperage and have heard this does not bode well for the decoder, is there a loco tester for DCC as some of my farish locos that have had the bottom brush holder replaced with the spencer kit will not run of course on DC/ or do i have the decoder (M1) not set for DC operation, as to the majority of my american stock fitted with drop in boards they run fine on both.
Best Regards
