Decoder Indentification
Posted by Gary 740 on Thursday, July 3, 2008 5:02 PM

I recently purchase an HO Walthers Proto 2000 with both A & B engines. This unit is DCC ready. How do I determine what decoders are available for this particular train? Thanks for your help on this question.

  Hi Gary

 If you go to the decoder manufacture web sites they will list what is recomended for your locos. Try Train control systems site for great pics of decoder installs.

Hi  again Gary,

I  just  realised  you are modelling  in HO  so the  second  link  there is  for N  scale  locos sorry for  the confusion.
