Yes, Mick, mine too.
I believe they apply a high frequency, high voltage AC over the top of your DC traction voltage with th3 intent of break8ng down any resistance in the chain of connections, and possibly also rattling the armature of your motor too. I presume it’s got no real waft, as frying children went out of fashion back in Herod’s days, but it might perhaps be able to cook the front end of a decoder.
I’ve still got one from my N gauge days. I’ll stick it on a ‘scope just for interest’s sake.
