Now, where are those #$%^& Digitrax #DN163I2 decoders that are supposed to be drop-ins?

Dave Foxx

Just an FYI - If the DN163I2's are anything like the DN163I1's, they will not be pure "drop-in's"; you'll have to un-solder the lead light leads from the analog circuit board and resolder them to the decoder.

Tim,

Yeah, they need to have the light bulb swapped to the decoder.  But I have done a couple before, and, fortunately, that wasn't that big of a deal for me.

Since my soldering skills have improved, I might consider trying a DZ125, especially if the DN163I2s are not coming out for a while.
