In recent months my Multimaus set-up has become less reliable but I suspect that my use of a Maerklin 5A power supply may be the issue.

The system often shows an Err 13 error but will reset if I use Roco's own power supply.

This prompts two questions:

1. Why is this happening and how can I stop it?

2. Is there a suitable DCC set-up to replace the Multimaus?

I still wish to retain the Roco accessory modules but I do not want to use Lenz as I dislike the LH100 and LH90 because I find them non-intuitive when used on a small intensive shunting layout.

Is there a simple, DCC set-up that uses a handheld with full range rotary speed control (not centre-off) and easy to use turnout control that will work with my existing system?

Thank you

Zmil,

All is well. I replaced the Maerklin 5A transformer with Roco's own that came with my spare Multimaus set (the original had died which was why I used the Maerklin unit)

No further power outs and the loco decoders don't get too unhappy. I also added a power limiter from Arnold's, the guy who sells Zimo, it has a dial-up power regulator and a huge heat-sink.

The system seems a lot happier (and so do I)
