Decoder Harness
Posted by Guy Papillon on Monday, January 19, 2015 5:48 PM

i want to change a dead NCE D15SRP Decoder for a TCS T1. Can I use the 9-pin to 8-pin plug that came with the NCE Decoder?

Yes, you can. Just unplug the NCE decoder and plug the T1 into the harness.

Guy.

 I have to ask. What happened to the NCE decoder and can it happen to the TCS decoder? Why toast two decoders for problem in a loco?

Guy.

 Im sorry but the question still remains. What fried the original decoder? Decoders do not fry on their own after being in service after awhile. A bad decoder will imediatly fry the instant it is powered. Something had to cause the failure. Too much amp draw and bad instalation are the most common.
