I used an N scale (Idon't remember the number) Digatraxx decoder with the 8 pin plug on it and jsut plugged it in and it worked great.

You can use virtually any HO or N scale decoder in these. Just make sure you get a decoder with an 8-pin NMRA plug on it and you will be good to go. As an FYI, I have been using a lot of ESU Lokpilot series motor decoders in these with great success. The adjustable motor voltage parameters and super high PWM make these a smooth a quiet operator in any of the Spectrum models.

Good luck!

Hi Shayman here. I would go with one of the Digitrax small n-scale chips. I have a couple that I use to run with till I put in sound. The one that I am using in my Climax is a DN121.



Happy railroading.
An update on me is that in a week and haft. I am to go back for more test before they will make up their mind how to go. Thanks everyone for the thoughts. I am feeling better than I can remeber in the last two years.
