The Digitrax website has a list of suggested decoders for just about all the locos out there, which is very handy -- even if you don't choose to use Digitrax, you can use their description as a guide to getting a similar decoder from another vendor with the same form-factor. <br /> <br />I don't have any Athearn Genesis locos, but I do have both old and new Stewart F's -- the old Kato-driven Fs use a decoder that replaces the Kato light board (same for the old Atlas/Kato engines). For Digitrax that would be the DH163KO. The new F's have a standard medium 8-pin DCC plug, so a decoder with a harness like the Digitrax DH163P (3" long harness) is recommended. <br /> <br />I know all the other decoder vendors make equivalents for these two, so check a site like Tony's Trains to see what's out there.
