Does the Sapphire decoder work with Bachmann 21 pin class 47

[Chrissaf]

No reason why not. The Hornby Sapphire is a MTC21 Pin decoder and Bachmann 21 pin sockets are also MTC21 specification. Perhaps an expensive way of getting a MTC21 Pin decoder, there are many to choose from.

.

Note however, that the Hornby Sapphire decoder seems to have been discontinued and no longer available from Hornby (stocks might still be on the shelves in retailers, hence maybe at a cheaper sale price).

Hi quick question does the saphire 21 pin work with the Bachman class 47. Any help on this subject would be great thanks a million.

If it is any use I either use LaisDCC or Zimo products. Because the Bachmann 47 picks up on all wheels they both work OK, the Zimo is a lot better that the LaisDCC although the LaisDCC is really cheap, but they both work. Surprisingly Zimo do a cheap £20 version which is really good value compared to all the other offerings.

A lot depends on what you want to do, if you want to mess around with CV settings then the Zimo is probably more reliable.
