Question about Bachmann 4-8-2 Spectrum
Posted by C&O 2-6-6-6 on Wednesday, October 29, 2008 11:08 AM

I am asking for the 4-8-2 for christmas with the DCC decoder already in it.  Will that decoder work with my Digitrak Zephyr?  Or will I have to get a Digitrak decoder for it?

Im new to the DCC thing if you couldnt tell.

 It will work just fine.  I have TCS, Atlas and NCE decoders, and a Digitrax Zephyr running the table.  They all play nice with each other.

 I have a couple Spectrums. They work fine with a NCE controller. If you ever have issues with the Spectrums, there is an active Bachmann forum.

If you ever fall over in public, pick yourself up and say “sorry it’s been a while since I inhabited a body.” And just walk away.
