Mohammed,
Now I need to look for a new 12-15amp regulated and stabilized power supply. Any suggestions?
Have you tried Shourt Line by Soft Works Ltd.?
http://swl4.com/SL-PS300-1-27Fp.html
According to his website, "The Shourt Line is Massoth's Number 1 FACTORY Authorized Dealer in the USA for the last 5 years running."
He sells regulated power supplies and he should have tremendous experience with Massoth products. I'm sure he could help you with your specific installation.
Plus, since he is in the US, you won't need to worry about outrageous international shipping charges, long delivery times, language barriers, or currency transaction fees!
Best regards,
Bob

The pictures look nice and the claims are pretty impressive, but isn't that the product you spoke about disparagingly on another forum a couple months back? Thank for the advice, but ......!!!!
Please do not put words in my mouth again (where does the outrageous thing come from? )
Sincerely
Mohammed

No, I think your memory is failing. I did not make any disparaging remarks about the product. Perhaps you are confusing me with someone else?

Navy Tech,
If you are still reading this mess of a thread...
I spoke to the gentleman who is the decoder installer at Ultimate Trains in Nanton, AB. He did not have any large onboard decoders in his spare parts bin. However, Ultimate Trains is a Canadian dealer for Massoth. As UT is in Alberta, you could save the Provincial sales tax, Customs fees, and currency transaction fees if you decide to go that route. Tony, the Ultimate Trains owner, is a really nice guy and his service is second to none.

Hello again, Navy Tech,
My decoder is shorted across the input power terminals on the CCT card.
Silly question, but are you seeing the short with the motorblocks disconnected? (In other words, do you have one of the motorblocks flipped around 180 degrees? Perhaps the motorblock was flipped after you replaced the motor? This would give a short at the input terminals. Perhaps the decoder is still okay and the motorblock orientation is the problem?)
Page #10 of the Exploded Parts Diagram shows the proper orientation of the motorblocks:

Hey Chip: what is SNL? Maybe I would get better advice if I were to watch it.

Chip:
I guess he has not only difficulty with the technical stuff about LGB (AllIdontknowaboutLGB.com), but with common life as well.

Well, SNL could mean lots of things:
http://www.snl.com/
http://www.snl.it/
http://www.sandia.gov/
http://www.snl-zerspanungstechnik.de/
http://www.snl-event.de/
to name just a few.
All of those have as much to do with Large Scale Trains as Saturday Night Live

Mohammed,

Actually, it's "Live from New York, it's Saturday Night!"
Maybe you should avoid attempts to make people look silly by impressing us with your pop culture knowledge. Leave it to the professionals.
Best regards,
Bob

Bob: Maybe this might impress you, you are starting to sound more and more like the proverbial dog with a bone, you need to let sleeping dogs lie !!!
Respectfully,
Mohammed
P.S. Chip, are you still finding amusing? frankly, I am getting bored with it.

Ship in your decoder, Dan has a 50/50 shot in getting it going again, some of the components are in stock. If not there is one just like that in stock - unless you want to upgrade to a more modern style decoder for the actually less money (and that one includes even sound), but causes some work (not a lot). At the end you love the upgrade - the trolley will run much smoother. But I have learned some poeple stick with origina LGB for the collectors - retail value.

The only schematics on LGB equipment we have found are the PDF documents you find on the wiring of the engines, not board schematics.
I believe all distributors had sent boards back to Germany in the past for repair.
At Train-Li we see shorted diode bridges and burnt etches and these are easy to fix. Larger mosfets that are smoked can also be replaced.

Ummm..... just curious...from a lurker's point of view...and I'll be blunt...
The visceral dislike and ad hominen attacks in this thread have a chilling effect on what should be a fun and productive topic.
Stop attacking each other in this open forum. It's puerile. Worse, it's completely unfair to the hobby and new folks who are just tuning in to have some fun. I promise you, they sign off thinking "Well, THAT is certainly no fun." Finally, it's unmanly. If you have a beef with a man, email him privately.
If anybody has a beef with what I've just said, email me privately. Don't use this open forum.

Tommy, unfortunately when people are presenting "opinions" as "helpful" in the forum, and they are completely self-serving, and the presenter is a dealer of the "miracle product", there is no other place to comment back.
Clearly contacting someone privately who already does these things publicly will have no effect. To be really clear: if this kind of action is done on the forum to consternation of many, what effect do you think a private email will do...
In this case, I can guarantee you, nothing.
Now, does everyone enjoy this "messing up" threads? No!
BUT, I will submit that since MLS does not do much to police this, that we, the members need to speak out.
Yeah, yeah, I have been told dozens of times I'm not a moderator.
Tough, it's a FORUM and if MLS won't manage it to the members satisfaction, then the members will or they will all leave.
Look around on the Internet, good forums are basically self-policing by the consensus of the members.
OK, off the soapbox, and apologies to Jason who just wanted some information.
Greg
p.s. nice vocabulary, but it is often off-putting to others... I see you must be a student or employee of the University of North Carolina... ahh. you are in the IT department.... hey most IT guys would not have that vocabulary, congratulations!
p.p.s. it's you with the camera on the left, correct? And that's Jane Fonda... I'll bet you could tell us some stories!
