Re: Athearn Genesis GP40-2

Re: Athearn Genesis GP40-2
Sam, that just doesn¡¯t sound correct. How is one to know if a decoder is defective or not until it¡¯s installed! Unless the decoder is out of warranty because of time, it should be honored,

Re: Athearn Genesis GP40-2

Re: Athearn Genesis GP40-2

Re: Athearn Genesis GP40-2
Thank you for your reply Craig. If I do have one of the boards with the wrong resistors installed how do I tell? If I do have one of the boards that's wrong would you happen to know how I go about

Re: Athearn Genesis GP40-2
Some recent Athearn production were made with 20,000 ohm resistors on their lighting board instead of 2,000 ohm. Makes for very dim lights. Athearn is replacing the boards, or buy a Decoder Buddy
