Precision Craft Y6b and Digitrax problem

[NW Modeling List]

Did you use voltage dropping resistors in series with each LED ?

If not - your LEDs are most likely now blown.  Not a fun replacing those.....

As noted in item 5 on page 3 of the instructions 
(http://www.digitrax.com/ftp/dh163d.pdf)
" See the Digitrax Decoder Manual for full details....."
