I've just purchased this loco from Rails Of Sheffield, it takes a 21 pin decoder, can I use any decoder, been looking at one from Hattons, that looks a good price.
I'm lost there appears to be adaptors to convert a 21 pin to an eight, do any of you know which would be best for this Bachmann class 20 deisel?

Lurcher 1 : This forum usually deals with North American equipment . I suspect you are going to have to look in Bachmanns British Equipment website for information . I assume you are dealing with Canadian equipment . John2.

And since when is Canadian equipment not North American?
Google is your friend JH2.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Rail_Class_20 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Rail_Class_20)
Lurcher.........if you're not looking for sound, any basic decoder will work along with whatever adapter is needed to connect the 21 pin to the loco.

The decoder you were looking at, i presume this one?

Should do the trick.
That you Brits drive on the wrong side of the road does not mean your decoders are the other way around. ;D
As long as your decoder is NMRA compliant it doesn't matter what part of the world you are from.

to Wounded Bear : Every country north of Panama is part of North America . Since he bought the train from "Rails of Sheffield " I made the assumption that he was dealing with a supplier in Canada who deals in British type trains since Canada uses the same type of electrical power 60 Hz , 120 Vac. .Though I do use Google Chrome I normally use AOL . as my search engine . Since the gentleman was getting no response from the forum I suggested he look at Bachmann's British equipment. John2.
