Title: Can’t locate decoders
Post by: MarkD702 on March 30, 2025, 05:06:46 PM

I am wanting to convert my N scale turntable to DCC. I can not find the decoder needed anywhere. Instructions say I need either Bachmann item # 44915 or item # 44926. I can't find these decoders. I just want to go from DC to DCC on my turntable.
Thank you for any help.

Apparently Trainz has them.

Looking at what Terry posted it seems any decoder with an 8 pin plug should work. You can find good ones online for half the price of the one he posted.

Any 8-pin decoder with basic motor control should work. Indexing is built into the turntable, and not controlled by the decoder.
