Kato 10-387 with DCC?


Vato

Recommended Posts

The reason Vatato has been wandering from thread to thread asking how to install the decoder for his 10-387 is.....Our links in the DCC thread are dead.

 

A lot of the instruction images are blank. Which means he is not seeing anything to direct him.

Ahhh ok I didn't know the links were dead lol. As far as I'm aware 10-387 isn't a DCC friendly model so a manual install would be needed, soldering a decoder in etc...tricky business. I might be wrong but I'm positive it's not a Kato DCC friendly model. On the other hand, I'm selling 2 full sets in the for sale section, 10 car E2 and 8 car E4 which are DCC friendly. Bit of plugging never hurt lol.

 

Thanks,

This link confirms that the sunrise express isn't DCC friendly. If you've manually installed decoders before then apparently it's quite easy. I however have no experience and ended up ruining an old Farish Class 158 trying to install a Lenz decoder. So I'm sticking with DC lol.

 

Thanks,
