Sounds like a possible warranty job to me.

Re: Regarding RTR Rolling Stock.

(To me it is reliable couplings and their track holding ability so they ride over bumps better. In other words, I want my trains to reach their destinations in one piece and not in various de-railed and uncoupled pieces scattered along the layout!) But this never gets mentioned in the blurb. Featur...

Re: advice required

I often feel uncomfortable about my layout because I don't have a lot of time or energy left over to work on it and I know there are things that need doing. On the other hand, nobody else cares whether I do them or not. There's a small level of satisfaction posting the results in here and people say...

Re: z21 and a booster

I suspect this is a hardware fault in the output stage of the controller. e.g. a blown power transistor.

Have you tried setting the decoder to defaults?

Re: z21 and a booster

Locos may run off if they detect a DC component on the track. Possibly the output stage of the Roco z21 is running asymmetrically, but not so bad that the booster can't make sense of it? How is the booster connected? If it's using the B-bus, the output of that might be just fine.

Re: Riveted bogies

I would find a drill bit the same size as the rivet then drill out the middle of the rivet just enough for the head to fall off. Then use a nut and bolt to replace it.

Re: Zimo MX600R

My MX600R decoders have arrived, I know red and black to the track and orange and grey to the motor. I intend to snip off the connector and hard wire. The other wires I will cut off but leave a short length (insulated) so that I can connect to them in future if I decide to add lights. Whats puzzlin...
