Hi Guys.....
I've been reading all these posts with great interest to see what will fall out of this.
I am not an electrical engineer. I do not claim to understand all the discussions. I am a hobbiest who likes to run his trains and enjoy all that DCS has to offer. And I do SINCERELY appreciate all the help and guidance you all on this forum provided to me and many others from time to time. I'd be pretty lost without you.
My question is.....what does a person like me do? I run my layout with 2 TIUs. I went out and bought 2 new Rev L's because reviews indicated that was the way to go.....that was my choice and I accept that.
But what do I do now? Are my Rev L TIUs affected by these hardware issues? I don't know. Have I had derailments? You bet. Do I just bite the bullet and send the TIUs in for repair?
To say that this situation is frustrating for me is an understatement.
I just want to know what model railroader hobbiests like myself who have made a substantial investment in MTH and DCS need to do next.
It appears though that this discussion is far from over and I need to "sit tight" as those far more knowledgeable than I find other issues with the Rev. L design before taking any action (sorry for the run-on sentence).
Very frustrating indeed......
