Title: GE 44 tonner
Post by: tomgschilling on October 06, 2009, 05:39:41 PM
Is there a decoder available for this great little locomotive that provides a little more function than the one shipped with the loco?  I'd like to improve speed control via a Speed Table.  Thanks in advance.                                 ...Tom

I've been told by my dealer Tim Smith at Empire Northern Models that the BACH GE 44 tonner is already decoder equipped

I agree JohnTom and the decoder works just fine but it is a very basic decoder which only allows the user to specify the start voltage, CV 2, to determine the speed profile.  I'm looking for a more robust version of the decoder that also has a maximum speed and a medium speed, CV 6 and CV5.  And, decoders with this capability also come with speed tables which gives the user even more flexibility.             ...Tom
