Can anyone in the group give a comparsion between an NEC & TCS decoder for a
P2K SW 9 / 12. MR has an article on putting an NEC one in a SW 9 / 12, they
say it's a plug in one but say nothing elce about it
Thanks
Malcolm

That's about all there is to say. All decoders built to NMRA standards will
provide the same basic functions, and will be wired into the locomotive the
same way. Some can be plugged in, if the locomotive comes with a set of
plugs, others are soldered in if there are no plugs.
A decoder is basically a programmable switching device -- it switches various
things on and off depending on what information ir receives from the rails.
Some decoders add a few functions, such as control of sound, is all. They
have few more wires because they have to turn additional circuits on and
off.
To find out what a decoder can do, go to the company's website.
