Hi there ! I need a little help with my 00 layout. I use Lenz DCC, DCCconcept DCD-ADS-8fx decoders and Peco/Hattons solenoids for my points, which are code 75 ones from Peco with electrified frogs. Now my problem: The frogs are powered with the help of the ADS-8fx decoders. After power up the layout and the DCC equipment there are 2 points where the frogs have the wrong polarity, a loco causes a short. By trial and error I found out, that I can get rid of this by switching the points 1-2 times right after power up before using them, even if there are in right direction. Now I can drive locos over the points without problems until the end of playing session. This error is reproducible and changing the wires of the frog doesn't solve this. Does anyone had this problem in the past? I would be happy for a short info. Thanks, Klaus from Germany Enclosed a quick view on my new layout.
