I’m working in HO and I’ve done about five Athearn Blue Box Geep conversions and a couple steam engines to DCC with sound so far. All work great. Now I’m workong on six Athearn Blue Box SW1500’s (actually SW7’s) and I cant find a sound Decoder that will fit along with a speaker. It was suggested that I try one of these Digitrax minis. Apparently they are made. For NScale but the specs say they’ll run an HO locomotive, but no sound. The price is right, so why not try it? The tiny thing arrived today and I didn’t install it yet, but there is no doubt it will fit. I do hope it works as advertised but I am still going to try to find something that gives me some engine sound. It is about half the size I suspected. I installed it in a legacy HO Athearn SW1500 1500 switcher and it worked perfectly. Update: ran it for a cpoupe hours and it stoppedvworking entirely. I had it pulling snoutca cars on flat Terran and it was drawing about .5 amps max. Read full review

This is a great little decoder for tight spaces. Easy to install and easy to program. If you have a locomotive either diesel or steam that is DCC ready and the interface board has the 8 pin receptacle it is an easy to install decoder.

Good, high amperage capacity decoder with tons of functions and features. Only "glitch" is if you have a. "firebox flicker" on F1, and Rule 17 dimming for your headlight, you CANNOT turn off the firebox with the function key. Even Digitrax can't explain it..

Again. Digitrax has delivered. Easy to install. Less than one minute. Super easy to program. Always my favorite

Nice decoder for 8/9 pin applications. The small size makes it a great decoder for locos with minimal space for a decoder if you don't want to get into changing out boards. 10/10
