Diagnosing a problem with Lit Pullman Coaches causing a train to fail to stop in an ABC braking section.
Do you want to make your own PCBs? Design a PCB yourself, and have it produced for you by PCBWay: [https://www.pcbway.com/setinvite.aspx?inviteid=571307]
Also check out the PCBWay Community site at [https://www.pcbway.com/project/]
Two of these lit pullman coaches in the same train was interfering with the ability of a locomotive to stop in the ABC sections at the club layout. In this video I check out the DCC waveform with an oscilloscope as I see if I can reproduce the issue at home.
Do let me know in the comments what you think I should do with these coaches.

To have custom PCBs made to your own design like the ones I use to control Asymmetric Braking under DCC, see my channel sponsor, PCBWay: [https://www.pcbway.com/setinvite.aspx?inviteid=571307]
In this video I wire an Electrofrog diamond as part of a Double Junction for DCC with support for block detection and asymmetric braking.
This junction is at the back of the layout hidden in a tunnel, and forms one of the two ways that trains can get between the storage yard and the scenic part of the layout.
