(...) We modified three motors with DZ143 decoders. They're working fine. The pickups are bent in easily, causing sputterring. If you bend them out it makes it easier. We're also not sure if we got the light function running properly. Calum (21 years ago, 13-Jul-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) The Ack circuit is great--I used resistors, but the 2 lights also do the trick, and I know you have lotsa train lamps to make your own. Dave K (21 years ago, 14-Jul-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
