Decoder provision updated July 2016

Post by Dad-1 »

I've de-stickied the last listing of Bachmann decoder fitments
and am replacing with a more upto date version.
Here you should be able to find what type of decoder IF ANY will fit
models up to and including the 2012 - 13 catalogue.

Information to be linked in soon - I hope ? rather than me having to re-type the lot.
Info ex Bachmann.

[EDIT]
Didn't need retyping Geoff just a bit of reformatting :wink:

That's a really good list, I'm just glad the Bachmann "Lanky Tanks" are DCC Ready, now I just need to wait for SWD to make the sound decoder for it and the "Dukedogs" so I can convert from DC to DCC Sound for: 5513, 10695, & 9017 :).

All other Bachmann 'stickies' have been deleted as they could be
thought of as 'Time Expired'.
This thread has historic information that may continue to have a value
to those buying secondhand and wishing to convert to DCC

The problem with Bachmann's list is that they refer only to 'current models'. There's a significant number of their diesels that were in production 'DCC ready' when an 8 pin socket was all they offered. Applies to my certain knowledge to earlier versions of classes 20, 24, 25, 55, 66, and very likely others. Worth a note to that effect?

Also the Diesel Multiple Units, classes 105, 108, should all be shown as 8pin+8pin, uniform with the class 105 power twin. Same basic chassis in all of them. Might apply to the class 101 too, but not had one to decoder fit.

Please note earlier versions of some
locomotives were issued prior to the advent
of DCC. This list refers to items either
introduced since 2006 (with DCC provision
included) or which have subsequently been
upgraded. Some models have featured more
than 1 type of decoder socket as they have
been upgraded to facilitate increased
functionality since their initial introduction
with DCC provision
Growing old, can't avoid it. Growing up, forget it!

Thanks Bufferstop for getting that on for me.
I stop using the eye treatment first thing tomorrow and with
luck, plus washed glasses, may be able to see !!
