I think today the socket for my DCC plug will be in the mail(maybe tomorrow). Over time, the leads on the TCS decoder I've been using have shortened up, so I sat down to today and removed the short old leads and soldered on new ones. I soldered back on new leads of about 4 inches.
This is the underside of decoder with new leads solder on.
Once the new leads were on, I tested them on my decoder checker.
Everything tested OK .
Found these on eBay and decided to give them a try.
Here's a completed shot of the new plug installed to the wire harness.
I wrapped electrical tape around decoder to protect the new solder connections.
Hopefully this will make a cleaner decoder install.
