Title: HHP-8
Post by: josephw98 on September 23, 2012, 01:13:45 PM
Hello,

I recently purchased a DCC Ready Bachmann Spectrum HHP-8. I was wondering which decoder Bachmann uses/recommends and where I can purchase it.

Thanks,
Joe

I used a TCS T1 decoder per the instructions here:

Works very well. I suspect a Digitrax DH163 would also work.

What is the difference between http://www.bachmanntrains.com/home-usa/products.php?act=viewProd&productId=3387 and the one you posted?

The size/footprint of the decoder. The one you listed if a smaller version. Either should work.
