3 eBay model train bargains - Part three : DCC ?

It's not often we buy engines from eBay anymore due to the number of mis-described items that need repairs or returning. I low bid on 3 locos fully expecting to be outbid, but that didn't happen. So here we are, the third of 3 videos where we open and test them "live" as they're delivered. Can this go someway to restoring my faith in eBay? Let's see what this one is like.

Thanks for watching

The first chip could possibly have BEEN a blanking plate, just possibly put in backwards. Try putting it in both ways to see if it works

[@fairweathertrains3029]

Nice. I'll give that a go. Thanks

The CT Elektronic DCX76 is a small 4 function 0.8A DCC Micro decoder. It would appear to have CV29 set to enable DC running. The original decoder you removed may just need CV29 set to enable DC running. I would suggest investing in a 6pin blanking plug as DC running through a DCC chip is not ideal.

Thank you for that. Although I don't do DCC, I didn't think that looked right for it to be a blanking plug. I am going to look for a proper one right now!

​@@fairweathertrains3029 Hi , the chip in the plastic box is the original blanking plug, the electronic component on the board being a resister. You have removed the actual dcc chip , that has been swapped, suggesting this is not new at all. I've had this before.
