Hello all,

I have a problem with my decoder dcc Esu loksound,
, This is the first time I see this. When I stop the locomotive, it gives a small blow before stopping completely.
I installed a Loksound select microphone and esu powerpack (54670) and a speaker.
If you can see the video on my youtube channel. thank you !

Good day everyone, I have been working on a slightly larger version of this track plan but the track work remains the same, just the left and the right sides of the layout are longer.  This design was in MR in the early 90s and was at that time wired for DC.

Can anyone see any possible areas for concern when wiring this layout to DCC?  Any specific areas I should isolate or require an Auto Reversing module?  I don't clearly see any areas but being new to wiring a DCC layout I thought it couldn't hurt to ask.

Thank you in advance.

I am working a layout design with a wye where the leg that I plan to gap and power with the auto-reverser will lead into a small yard and interchange that goes nowhere else and is not connected to the rest of the layout. If there is another engine working in the yard what will happen when the AR detects an engine coming through the gapped part of the wye and reverses the polarity?

I have attached an image of the plan with the planned isolation point highlighted.

I bought a used Walthers SW8 that had a QSI sound decoder in it.  Unfortunately it seems to have the problem that it won't stop unless the emergency stop is pressed.  And when pressed it only stops the engine, it doesn't actually shut it off.  Pressing momentum does not seem to do anything. The unit will decrease in speed to a slow pace, but won't actually stop when the power is zero. Have tried resetting the decoder on my NCE PowerCab on the test track and the results always seem to  be the same. Wondering if any DCC gurus have some ideas.
