Reply to "DCS Choke Tutorial (semi-analytical)"

From the last part of your tutorial, I am gathering that any incandescent light bulb in a passenger car, caboose, engine lights that is fed from track power will short out the DCS signal and will require a 22uh choke?

Almost perfect. Yeah any incandescent bulb fed from track power needs to be choked. It’s not “shorted out” because it’s not drawing all the current, just some so we usually say “it’s loading the DCS signal” as oppose to “shorting” it. You do know what’s going on though  so the video can’t be so awful!
