I did a quick google search on installing a DZ-143 decoder. So far I found one site that shows installing a DZ-121. [url]http://mywebpages.comcast.net/mjmx/bach280.htm[/url] I went to Tony's web site to look at the instructions. Tony recommends the Lenz LE010XF or LE077XF. Tony also says the "Digitrax DZ 121 and DZ120 s are TOO LONG to fit the boiler shell WITHOUT FRAME MODIFICATION" and he does not recommend it. A DZ-143 measures .36" X .55" X .13" A CZ-121 measures .36 X .575" X .16" A Lenz LE010XF measures .36" X .51" X .14" So you are correct that the decoder is too long. It would be a better idea to get the Lenz decoder instead of cutting the frame. Save the Digitrax for another instalation.
