Followup to original post:after a mild bump to the tender all the sound functions ceased. After much agonizing the simple solution was a loose sound module which disconnected completely during the light bump. After reinstallation of the module (with a good push)  all functions were totally normal.

Hi again,
I have read the instruction manuals and they did not help with the delayed decoder function. As for the  rule 17 implementation instructions, I need some clarification as I do not understand the instructions as provided. Therefore I am asking for help.

Hi,
Has anyone experienced an initial burn in time before the EM-1 sound decoder functions? Mine required about 10 minutes after installation before ir worked properly. Does this indicate future trouble?
How do you implement rule 17 headlight dimming. What CV etc?
Thanks
AW

Mr. Bach-man can you offer any suggesttions?

Hi David,
I have already seen your website and found it very informative. What is confusing is the fact that my #6 crossovers already have gaps cut in adjacent to the frogs. Is this a change over your crossovers? Should these function the same as those you recommend for DC operation without any rewiring as well? Also are any insulated joiners required in the adjacent mainline tracks to enable independent operation of the parallel main lines?
Sorry for all the questions but Bachmann instructions have not been forthcoming. I hope that you can help.
Thanks
Amnon

Thanks. One more thing, do these new crossovers require any insulated joiners on the adjacent rails or are the built in gaps enough to  isolate the adjacent two mainlines from one another?

Would appreciate info on wiring the EZ track #6 crossovers for DC operation and when to plug in the wire that electrifies the frog. Is this for DCC only?
I am disappointed at the lack of info in the packaging or on Bachmann's website.
Thanks in advance for your input.
