stevo185 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Have just got a Class 9F, Evening Star. DCC ready. But none of the decoders I have, Gaugemaster, Bachmann or Hornby will fit.Any suggestions?Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rog RJ Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 I have a TCS DP2X-UK direct fit decoder in mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevo185 Posted March 21, 2018 Author Share Posted March 21, 2018 My gaugemaster is tailless, direct fit, but almost twice the thickness of the TCS. I expected a Hornby loco to be able to accept a Hornby decoder. Wondered why it was for sale! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDS Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 It may be worth asking Hornby Customer Services directly, which decoder to use. Quote the Model Number. Also ask where it fits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevo185 Posted March 26, 2018 Author Share Posted March 26, 2018 Hi Jane.The socket is near the chimney, but the body is a close fit everywhere, with only a few millimetres above it. The TCS decoder is direct fit and thin, but out of stock. I'm waiting for a response from Hornby customer services.Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
