I really wanted to get my Bachmann 45xx GWR Small Prairie locomotive running on my new layout, so I bought a Gaugemaster Ruby DCC92 decoder. The loco didn’t have a DCC socket so I had to hard-wire it by soldering the wires to the motor. But to test the decoder I first put it into my 56xx tank engine. There are also some tips for dealing with a decoder that panics, runs away and stops responding!

Frontington and Backwoods is (or will be) a OO gauge model railway layout, depicting a fictional GWR branch line terminus, set in the rolling South Devon countryside not too far from Kingsbridge, at some point in the late 1930s.
