I recently lost the decoder in one of my Dash 9's and decided to gut it and put a ESU Loksound 5XL in place. I've wired it got the lights working and tested on programming track where everything is functioning. Place it on the layout and it shorts the layout. Obviously I've missed something? Any thoughts or directions would be greatly appreciated. One question I do have is what to do with the center rail pickup wiring in the engine? I left it in place connected to itself.
Thanks
