Yep, Adrian's fix looks pretty labor intensive, don't think I want to get into that. 

As for the Digikey part, I don't understand the lead time issue.

Maybe I misinterpreted: saw "mfr lead time" of 14 weeks somewhere in Digikey listing.  Thanks, may order another then to insure quickest delivery.

Forgive, but back to my question about a choke on the output of the Legacy or TMCC base.  I meant, one that would filter above say 1 MHz or some suitable choice above TMCC frequency range, to decrease DCS-range stray frequencies headed for track.  Messing about with research this morning, example choke found, so specifically would one like this not work well for a reason not clear to me? If I read right its peak impedance is at 4.1 MHz, in the lower part of the DCS range.  Does it cause a problem with TMCC signal strength, or as simply as possible why would it not be effective, if not?

Got out one of the "important" locos yesterday, PS2.0 C&NW E4 streamlined Hudson, loco for the Challenger in the late 30s as well as mail/express trains into the early 50s.  With TMCC not present, perfect function and "10" signal everywhere.  Now to keep that and get TMCC back   That would be Christmas here!

Hope we can learn something. Thx again.
