Which Decoder Should I Pick?

[tompm]

Charlie for me reading helps. I guess it comes from years of reading design manuals. Reading helps me feel me comfortable with a subject I am unsure of. However, what real helps is examples, pictures, and talking to those who have done it before. Technical reading is text and is somewhat lifeless. It is a good start but nothing beats experience and learning through being shown, and trial and error.

I am running feeders every two to three feet. I agree every connections is ridiculous and overkill. I currently have two tracks halfway done with feeders. I have them et up as two separate blocks/districts, inside track, outside track. The third track which I have not completed designing or laying out is currently part of the inside track district. Eventually I want each track broken into two districts for a total of six. I figure this will make it easier to diagnose any problems when they arise.

Last night I remembered I have a decoder. I got as a throw in item when I purchased something else. It is a Digitrax DH126P 1.5A with a medium plug. I looked through my DCC ready locos and I think I found the one I will try first. It is a Bowser Executive Line PRSL AS16. I have had the shell off this one before because I had to make some repairs to it as a result of layout to floor incident. I think this should be a plug and play scenario but we will see once I get the shell off.

I may need to run out and get that double sided sticky foam that Charlie recommended.
