DigitraxHO/N/Z Tiny DCC Decoder 2-Functions 1A DGTDZ126T Power Supplies

Blowing the dust off my old 1980s blue box equipment for the grandkids. ❤️ Updated DCC. Fast service and it works! Thank you for keeping the dream alive. ❤️

This decoder does not support sound, but features all of the other capabilities one would like to have in a DCC controlled locomotive. This was my first effort at converting a DC engine to DCC. I am pleased with the result. Digitrax has a good name and reputation. The leads are quite long and there is plenty of wire there for almost any installation. The instructions are clear and easy to understand. I saw in one YouTube video covering installation of a DCC decoder, where the person wrote the programmed DCC number on the instruction sheet along with the description of the engine for future reference. Based on my experience, I would recommend this decoder to others desiring to add DCC control to their N-scale locomotive. You will need some experience soldering electric wires. The wires on the decoder are very small, obviously (smaller in diameter than a number 2 pencil lead), so some skill is needed to strip the wires of the insulation, tinning the wires, and finally making the necessary connections.

Use this in an old split frame Kato n scale F3. Worked very well and did not take up much space.

I was impressed with how small the decoder was, works really good. But whoever sodderd the wires did a bad job, 3 wires came off the decoder. I mean that's what you get for $30, but still if I didn't know how to sodder, I'd be screwed.All in all, if you get lucky with one that got assembled properly, that's great. But I would recommend having a soddering kit ready just in case. Great decoder though!!! 🫡 Put it in a dc ho 4-6-2 steam loco, runs smooth on my new dcc layout.

Dislike no sound

Used this decoder on an older Kato G38 n scale engine. Works great

Quick Delivery, cost effective for what I need

The small size allowed installation into an HO engine with limited space.
