MWaz Get off your duff challenge

[twilight]

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.
