Folks i put a 6 pin decoder from tcs in my lemke taurus. No matter what i do, i cant get the shell all the way on. Anyone have better luck with another brand?

Thanks

I used cheap and small 6 pin Fleischmann decoders for my two Kato nohabs, but they have lots of space under the shell. When you install the decoder, make sure that it sits flat. If it's in an angle, then the decoder is too thick for the locomotive or the 6 pin socket has to be 'modded' (bent) to allow the decoder to be in a horizontal position. Some Hobbytrain Tauruses i've seen had no socket, so they either had to be installed with wired decoders or with home made sockets. In the newer versions, the decoder must be completly within its reserved area, so it has to be small and flat.
