possible DCC system problem?

Did you ever find the problem and get it fixed?

no. began to suspect decoder trouble, and so i simply unplugged the decoder at the JST connector, and put an identical one in that previously worked (was plugged into one of my AEM7s). This one proceeded to release large quantities of blue smoke for no apparent reason. I have not yet put another decoder in that engine. I've sent the burned out MC2 back to TCS (thank god for their goof-proof warranty), but i have no idea what its status is.

I've looked over the wiring in my E44A and i still am not sure where the short came from or how to ensure that it doesn't happen again. I think my next step will be gluing paper or styrene against any surface that might allow the wires to short on the frame or shell.
