have you recently bought a DCCC ready locomotive or have an older locomotive
that you want to put a DCC decoder into but have no idea what decoder you should
put in that locomotive well watch this video and I'll show you how you could
find out what decoder to put in your locomotive I'm Tom Kvichak and this
is Toms Trains and Things this channel was created to help other modelers who
are in need of guidance in pursuing their dream of building a model railroad
and when we have a locomotive that's DCC ready and you have no idea what decoder
to put in it that's when you need some help and trying to find that special
decoder to put in there I've had many emails with this question in there about
the same predicament of not knowing what decoder to put in there locomotive so
recently I've done some research on it to find out different places where you
can find those decoders for your locomotive so I'm going to show you how
to do it right after this if you would like to see more videos like this go
ahead and hit that subscribe button and go to my channel click right below the
video where it says toms trains and things click on that and that'll take
you to my channel page and click on playlists and that will show you all the
playlists that I have I have them grouped into different categories by
topic so it's easy to find so if you're looking for something on soldering you
can find it if you're looking for electrical project you could find it if
you're looking for DCC you'll find it I have over 40 playlists on there where
the videos are grouped into categories so you could find them easily so take a
look at it now like always I'll have the links for every one of these webpages
down in the description now let's go take a look at this first one and that
would be Digitrax now on a Digitrax you have two ways
that you could do it you could do a normal selection and a reverse selection
on here so let's select a scale and we're gonna do a Cho and then we're
gonna select a brand from that scale now let's go and do let's do a Bachman all
right and then select an engine now there's a lot of different ones that we
could select in here and let's just say that we have what's a good one that we
could choose on here okay the four eight two we're gonna do a steam locomotive on
here now with this this will tell you each one of the decoders that will work
in that locomotive let's take another look on this and we're gonna pull up an
Athern and pull up a Genesis dese diesel DCC ready okay and these are the
decoders that are available that will fit in there and if you click on the
decoder itself let me see if I can bring up a sound decoder let me see this looks
like a good one here it'll bring up the specifications on there and product
details where you could check out the decoder and get a larger view on there
and zoom in on it so you could see what kind of it's an eight pin plus it's got
the speakers and it looks like it also has they stay alive on there I'm not
sure if that is what that is but that's what it looks like so that's a pretty
good feature that they have the link right there in the list it will take you
right to the product alright now that's it four digit tracks let's go on over to
NCE and see what they have now here on NCE
web page we have a decoder selector but it is in list form so it gives you by
scale the manufacturer the model and the first choice sometimes the second choice
and if there are notes in there sometimes they'll give you notes you
were starting out with the N scale manufacturer Arnold s2 and 145 are Atlas
you can see they have a lot of locomotives listed on their atlas
classic they haven't áthen concore kado okay let's go down to h0 scale same
thing they have by manufacturer the model and what decoder you would use on
there so let's go down to learners Intermountain will go to F7 and will see
it is a d1 45 R or you could use a KR s - s r this one it's D you know depending
on how you want to look it up with the digit I actually have two drop-down list
where you could choose it now here on the NCE you have a complete list of what
decoders will work where and let me see what else we have and they have how-to
videos on there also alright now let's go to soundtracks now soundtracks same
thing they have it in scale they have an HOH oh and 3s and we'll look in h0 now
they have the MA the manufacturers here let's go to rapido
trains in h0 scale and see what they have there now they have Elko AMD AMD
AMD AMD and md1 so in these ones they have the
tsunami to the economy and the speaker baffle kit so if you have an let me see
AMD f40 pH or f40 pH - 2d you would use the TSU 21 pin am now on this one here
you can see that they have this is a link now they set up links for the
product so you could go directly to the product and find it right there and get
everything you ever wanted to know about that product which is a pretty good deal
right here now let's start over and let's try a different brand will bring
up kado USA and we'll have the diesel okay let's see what this one does right
here does this actually show you the D yes it shows you the diesel and the
decoder that goes in it one hundred and forty five dollars and 85 cents for that
decoder let's go back to the last one and let's try a GE C 44 - 9w newer
releases and it shows you the locomotive there with the decoder let's take a look
at ESU I was really disappointed here because they have QuickStart guides but
they don't have a selector for the lock sound decoders on here now you would
have to look up the QuickStart guide okay now we have now this is a pretty
good detailed explanation of the decoder and you do have it in English this looks
like a pretty good drawing of what the decoder looks like and where the wires
go what what LEDs to use on there so that's a pretty good thing but the only
thing is you don't know what locomotive as it goes to now let's go
on over to JMRI JMRI has a decoder selection guide now you have to go through this
one manually to see this one tells you manufacturer the model and the family
like an atlas n scale for function dual mode length width and height if you are
looking for a particular decoder you could look it up here but there's no hot
links on it this is just a stagnant page where you could look up and this is a
very good list it's updated regularly and I think from what they said on here
that every decoder that was ever made is on this list so this is a pretty
extensive list here and I'll just keep on scrolling and scrolling you can see
the scroll bar here all the way down to the bottom I would say this is probably
the most extensive list of decoders anywhere but the only problem with this
you have to go through it manually to see the decoder in there and there are
no hot links now I'm not complaining about that but this is a very excellent
resource to look up decoders now I got this one here when I was looking for
decoder selectors I think this coastal DCC is a really
good one if you have a locomotive and you have the connector on there and you
can pull that up by what connector it has what the size it has and the
amperage now there are other factors that you could test on your locomotive
that's beyond the scope of this video right here I'm just showing you where
you could find the decoders but this is a very good example of how many
functions you want that amperage the connector and the size of it you could
narrow your search down by those factors right there which is
very good so let's take a look at a we'll take a so let's go to the ESU and
try it down way we'll pull up the ESU decoders
okay now this way it shows you the functions on there now once we have this
list up let's see if we can narrow that down with the functions and we'll look
for a sixth function and see if it will bring it up that way
this one this one doesn't let you choose all the different criteria at once you
have to do them one at a time let's just do it this way here we'll just go six
functions and see we could do it that way
and that's the same thing that we could only do one at a time on there even
though you're limited to one at a time this is still a really good way to look
up your decoders on here or I don't know how many decoders they have or it's just
the decoders that they are selling it looks like you know you had they have
hot links to some and there's no links to the decoders on some of the other
ones let's try a ESU right here and bringing up the link on that and it
gives you the information on it and it's 3350 I guess that's pounds so even
though you can only do one selection at a time that this is still a good data
base right here for selecting them but all the other ones are good also the
digit digit tracks the nce the soundtracks jmr i list is probably the
most populated list of all the decoders available and going back to this coastal
DCC that's a very good one too now that we have a pretty good idea of how to
find a decoder for your locomotive it should be pretty easy to go on any one
of those to find your decoder for your locomotive when I was browsing through
the DCCC concept webpage that was the very first time that I actually went and
selected any kind of decoder on there so that was the first time for me
I normally check things out thoroughly but I was really surprised that the way
that they could bring it up I was disappointed that you could only bring
up one it you know make one selection at a time but still that is a very good way
of doing it where you can narrow it down by the criteria that you are looking for
on your locomotive so I would say DCC concept is a really good one to check
out they're all good they all have their
advantages and they all have their disadvantages like the ones that are
specifically for the manufacturers they're only going to list obviously
their own decoders but on the other ones like J MRI and the DCC concept you're
gonna get every possible decoder and now I'm not I don't know how thorough or I
don't know how extensive the list is for DCC concept but that is probably the
easiest way to find it so I hope you enjoyed that I've learned something
along the way - if I ever get another locomotive that needs another decoder in
it I'm sure to be using that list right there in fact I'll probably check all of
them out just to make sure that I I could tie every one of them in together
cuz I'm like that I want if I see something here I'm gonna check it out on
this one too just to make sure that that one says the same thing this one over
here does so we'll see you and I gotta zoom out of here like this
