Title: Suitable DCC decoders for Dapol Class 86
Post by: ngresley1938 on September 02, 2013, 12:28:32 PM

Just bought a Dapol 86 on special from MRD. I'm having problems finding a DCC decoder that will fit - the decoder has to be very flat. I've tried my normal Digitrax and TCS decoders but they're too fat - I don't want to force the socket upwards. Does anyone know of a 6-pin decoder that fits this locomotive?

Thanks!

so it won't take a DZ125-IN ? - Most strange....mine does :)

don't want to be mister smart guys but if you put it the wrong way around then it won't fit ( and also not work but that's a different story )

And I have a Bachmann chip in both a powered and an unpowered 86 (and these are quite chubby :) )
