HO / repair the points on a crossover
March 30, 2014, 01:56:21 PM
I have a E-Z Command DCC #6 Single Crossover Turnout - Right
(#444138) and one of the points has broken at the pivot point closest
to the frog.

Is this repairable and if so, anyone ever done the repair? How was the repair done?
Thanks.

Get rid of the EM (Electro Magnetic) noise suppression capacitors and coils (sometimes mounted on a board).

They act like a dead short to the DCC signals on the rails in DCC layouts.

I remove the components when they are mounted discretely (capacitors are soldered to the motor in Diesel) or the EM suppression boards in I found in Thomas, Percy, and Mavis.

The DCC decoder will take care of any EM noise generated by the motor.

I use a Digitrax DH123 in my Toby. No problems after I replaced the first DH123 which was defective.
