Keep-Alive DCC Decoder Demonstration & installation

A demonstration showing how a DCC decoder with a keep-alive capacitor can help short wheel base locomotives get through complicated track work that they sometimes stall on.  In this example a TCS KAM4 decoder is installed in a Athearn SW1000 switcher.  Operation of the switcher before and after installation is shown for comparison.
