Hello folks,
As you might remember the Twin-decoder on my FLN 218 has burnt some time ago and now I am thinking to replace a new decoder which will match the Horny Select.
The Twin-decoder wasn't respond very well on the Select unit, at speed 14 it is OK, function for light works but when I stopped the loco from motion and it cannot start again; at speed 28, the light isn't steady and no light when loco is idle; at speed 128, no light at all! both speed 28 and 128 can resume running after stopped.
So, I'm thinking to get a FLN Twin-decoder 6847 or standard 6876 but I'm afraid the same problem exist with the old one. I also find ESU has a 6-pole decoder, would it work well with Select unit? I also want some comment for the Lenz Silver on Select. I tried some DCC other makers (Digitrax, DXDC) but the acceleration and deceleration rate effect is not as smooth as the Hornbt decoder and sometimes no effect.... I even cannot change the loco address for the Digitrax DCC.
Thank you
Dennis
