Has anyone had trouble with backwards compatable decoders? I'm currently dc only, and have had 2 burn up (athearn)
and one just simply quit (bachmann). The ones that burned up actually softened the tender shells slightly in the
location where the component was located. The other the lights worked, but engine wouldn't move. In all cases,
the decoders were removed and wireing patched to allow the locomotives to operate on dc only. The locos are a
Big Boy, Challenger, and a DD40. I'm running on atlas track and customline turnouts.
