What decoder is to be used for SD60M P2K unit?

[Anonymous]

I just need to know what decoder do I choose for the P2K SD60M UP unit I just got. It is my first Proto 2000 engine so I do not have a clue and it looks kinda weird up there. It is a HO scale. Thanks in advance.

Along with Tony's, you can contact Like Like and ask them what their recommendations are for that particular locomovitve.

Thanks Cspmo. I just went to my favorite site Litchfield Station because they are always a few dollars cheaper than Tonys and Tony I do not like anymore since I met him this past weekend. Anyway I ordered the Digitrax DH163LO and it was $24.00. It is on its way to me in a matter of days. Thanks yall

Hello Biggie

Hope you don't mind my asking........But you met Tony, and don't like him anymore? What happened? [:0] I hope that he didn't snub you or blow you off.

Sometimes this does happen with people that have too many things on their mind at once. Though, if a vendor "blatantly" blows me off, he or she won't get my hard earned money.

Even though I communicate with Bruce from Litchfield Station regarding DCC questions, I've always heard and read that Tony is a pretty cool guy.

Hey Antonio I really like to deal with Bruce from Lichfield. I was at the Springfield Train show and went to Tonys TRain and he was very rude to other customers I was watching him myself. He was pretty weird and was not trying to hear anyones deals they were trying to strike up. People were trying to talk to him. I remember one Young man trying to ask him a question and Tony was like "I am in the middle of something you will have to wait till I get time to deal with you" He did not say it nicely then just turned around and ignored him for the time I was standing there. I was like whoa. I then tried to bargain just a few dollars compared to someone elses prices there on a Athearn Soundtraxx decoder and he said no and that I was lying about the price and he was the cheapest. So I said some other words and left. I Went to the Railroad Depot from Boston and bought my decoder for $97 with the speaker. A deal Tony could not touch. I brought it back to him and made sure he saw the receipt. HE was pissed after that. But Aww well even if he matched the price I would not have bought from him after I saw him in action.
Now Bruce, Bruce is da man. I go to him for all my needs for DCC. Plus I can easily pay with Paypal.com. I like that guys place much better. I even bought my Lenz Set-100 from him a year ago.

Wow!

Thanks Biggie.

That is a tragic shame! Even if Tony was a little stressed, a quick smile with a "O.K, just give me a few minutes..." is an old line that still shows potential customers some courtesy! His arrogant attitude towards you was inexcusable. Suggesting that you were a "liar?" That's lacking in respect!

Your experience stirs up some of my memories. Years past, before I got married I was living with my parents and even after helping them I would sometimes have $300 in my pocket (No more!). Yet, I would be snubbed by vendors from time to time. A line I learned to use was: "Wow! I apologize for wasting your time! I guess I'll take my $300 that I budgeted for my hobby and spend it somewhere else." Take care!

Your experience is a great example of the warning given to newbie sales reps at high end car dealerships: " Watch how you treat ALL potential customers. You never know who you're dealing with!" [;)][8D]
