BLI RSD15 decoder?????

[JulesB]

Can anyone tell me which decoder fits in this HO scale unit? The manufacturer says "install your favorite decoder". Yah right as long as it can fit on the end of a toothpick. It seems this model was designed to have a decoder with a plug installed, can anyone tell me which decoder would be a good match for this loco.

The DZ123PS is small. The new DZ125PS is even smaller, saw one at the Springfield show. The Digitrax rep was showing it to everyone.

I bought a TCS DP2X decoder today at my LHS and it fit right in with the spacer/jumper provided by BLI. Amazing engine, sounds fantastic, looks excellent and runs smooth and will operate at very low speed, all around A+. I am buying another one.

  A TCS M1 or an NCE N12 are super small. I would go for the TCS because of the amp rating is more than the digitrax and nce decoders. Better safe than sorry.

DZ123ps.

A digitrax, sorry I am not familiar with the number, is my guess right?

A TCS T1 decoder would probably fit, I installed one of those in an Athearn SD40. The size is close, I think it would be tight.

  Would this be a blueline locomotive? What does the plug look like? I put a TCS T1 in a blueline loco without a problem.
