Tony's Train Exchange Plans Another New Plug & Play Decoder.

The new LL Proto 2000 GP-7 has a unique DCC socket assembly that unplugs from the conventional lamp module used for DC ops. This module is removed for DCC ops.

As has come to be expected, the DCC ready loco, like many predecessors requires significant messy effort to install existing analogue decoder types. We tried the TTE/RS2 fixed pin decoder a Digitrax DH140/120 and found a vertical clearance problem.

The plug & socket assemblys are too high. The new Lenz LE 104XF with the Lenz low profile plug will probably work. The LE104 should hit the streets first week in January 1999.

So ergo, here comes another loco specific decoder which by chance will also be a quick, clean installation in _________. This new decoder should be available in about 4 weeks. It has advanced format and 4 functions and will be designated ____________.

MSRP $29.95, Tony's 1 @ $25.00, Tony's 4 @ $22.00
