Getting cranky in my old age :)

[billyboy]

I'm clearly getting grumpy as I get older.

 

 

I managed to blow a DCC Concepts chip while testing the led lights I fitted front and rear to an Athearn DC loco , the wiring wasn't tied down and the cover was off the loco so I was just running with just the chassis. It worked fine but a wire managed to hit a live rail.

 

Chip is now dead, my fault.

 

Fired a mail off to DCC Concepts and got a mail back , part cost replacment which is good considering I killed it.

 

"Noting that you may not have that much experience with fitting decoders, we are willing to offer a replacement at half retail price."

 

That above line in the email annoyed me , seven locos in converted from DC to DCC I suspect I might have an inkling about what to do and I did explain how the wire accidently hit the rail.

 

I blame Brexit

 

Over-sensitive on my part?

No, definitely not. I've converted a load of those old Athearns and doing all the hard work only to see the chip go up in smoke is enough to drive anyone round the twist!

Definitely. It's all Trump's and Putin's fault! :-)

I was thinking it was Putin , but Trump....mmmhhhh...food for thought. I hear he's not too fond of trains.
