Steps forward, steps back

Yesterday I arrived home to a package from the US.

Step forward; Auto reversing unit installed on scissors crossover. the center crossover is now powered and switches with a nicely audible click when it changes. (I'm a sucker for a click to tell me something is still doing its job).
Step back; Installing a decoder in the twinset railcar, only to have the smoke escape after 5 minutes of running. All rather odd. Will have to check with Digitrax about repairing it, even if it was only $20.

swap from Digitrax to TCS www.tcsdcc.com - TCS decoder are more reliable and should they ever release the black smoke they are hassle free to exchange, no question ask exchange policy...
