Athearn DCC circuit boards
Posted by atsfandy on Sunday, August 15, 2010 2:36 AM

 I am looking for a place that supplies the DCC ready circuit boards that Athearn uses in the Genesis series locomotives.  Can some help me find the company who makes them.  I am looking specifically for the ability to wire my ditch lights and lighting beacons separate from the head lights.

A place called Ulrich Models has them: Genesis DCC Lamp board

I've not personally dealt with this store but I do recall some people here mention them and that they have gotten good service.

 I have used Ulrich model trains. He installed a sound decoder in my Trix Big Boy. Very good job. The guy there to talk too is Steve Gill. So call him or you can email him, he will write you back and help you with your problem. Do a search for Ulrich models.

 How much are the decoders you want to use?  For twice the price of that board you could get one of these decoders and have everything all in one, including support for 1.5v bulbs, and LEDs without adding resistors.  Runs 6 functions-front light, rear light, 4 other functions.
