Quality product at a great price

I have now installed several of these decoders. They perform great and their size makes them easy to install. If I had the money, I would go back and replace all my decoders with these. Changing engine sounds is also easy via computer. They are simply remarkable. Read full review

Well packed

Was surprised the decoders got here nearly a week after the other decoders from my order came from the supplier. I had the first batch installed almost two weeks ago. They did come well packed. I am excited to run them. The instructions are easy to follow, my soldering are improving.Read full review

The CHOICE!

If you are upgrading your DC unit to DCC - this is the "Ready to Roll" unit you want to put into your loco. Fast and easy - just plug in the unit to the light board at the 8 pin connector and basically you are ready.

One tip - do not attach the unit to the light board, but merely get it to float above it, it will crush down when the body is put back on the chassis. Also clip the extra sound wires short and tape them to the decoded, and put the condenser on the front end of the loco with double sided tape!

That's it! Easy, fast, and when you program the thing you can adjust everything to suit your tastes.

An excellent choice to upgrade your DC units!

dissapointing

Product has no "chuff" sound in the steam mode. It also has a diesel whistle in steam mode. I know how to use these, I have three others that work well. Dissapointint. BTW I got the three others from Yankeedabbler and they were fine.Read full review

Compact and makes the motor run more efficiently (smoother) - great mobile decoder!

Digitrax SDXH166D

Good product. Worked as expected. I’m using it in a steam locomotive with sound scheme 05. The sound is very realistic.

stay away

First one burned out in a matter of seconds. Replacement is working but poor sound quality. Prime mover sound is worthless.
