I would say to avoid the cheap Bachmann/Lenz decoders - they don't have BEMF and sound not unlike a cordless drill's control circuitry (a whining noise that appears at all speeds). The pre-programmed speed curve in the three I have is terrible too - there's a huge jump at about speed step 3 or 4 which makes switching work almost impossible (as well as smooth starts and stops). They can be tamed by fitting them to Athearn BB locos (my three will be fitted to these rather than throwing them away) but in future I'll be buying TCS T1 decoders - the same price but silent and with "Dither" (their BEMF equivelent).
