I have several Loksound Select decoders running on an NCE-powered HO layout.  Several of them run just fine.  Others start properly, but once they get to moderate speed, a problem crops up.  The sound cuts out and the loco starts to jerk down the track at regular and short intervals while the decoder makes a zzt-zzt-zzt-zzt sound.  The sound and jerking coincide and there are about four such "beats" per second.  The loco stops responding to commands.

I have always been a pro Digitrax user as the loconet architecture is so widely and universally helpful for computer control with other manufactures. With that said, They have had my first 2 throttles for 30 working days and still are not complete. Is this normal, do they wait till the last day to upgrade them? Whats it take to pop these open, remove a pc board and slap a new in? Service is part of business, do they get it?

Thanks for rant

I have just set up a permanent test track near my desk/workbench. I can switch easily between my PowerCab and DC for testing purposes. I want to permanently mount my NCE USB adapter so I can use JMRI when programming without having to hook up a bunch of wires.

Does anyone know of a case or mounting gear for the NCE USB adapter? I'm thinking someone with a laser cutter or perhaps a 3D printed thing might be out there already.

I think I know the answer, but I'll ask anyway.  

Do the DCC manufacturers not support consist consisting yet?  (I currently have an NCE Power Pro and setup up my consists as Advanced Consist)

I ask because what I want to do is run my trains with three units in a consist, with three units as helpers in their own consist. At the summit (Tennessee Pass) I would cut off the helpers and return them to Minturn.
