has anyone installed non-LGB/Massoth decoders in LGB 2-4-0 starter set locos? This would be for LGB 2-4-0's that do not have LGB factory sound systems.
I have nothing at all against LGB/Massoth decoders (they would be my first choice). I am just curious if there are significantly less expensive alternatives that someone has been successful in using with their LGB 2-4-0's that they are running with the LGB MTS System (50111 & Central Stations 1, 2 or 3).
I found the following on Tony's website (there may be other brands and models in this price range that I am not aware of):
scale mfg model name max Amps peak Amps # func's msrp
G/O Digitrax DG383AR 3 5 8 $59.99
G/O Digitrax DG583AR 5 10 8 $64.99
G/O Digitrax DG583S 5 10 8 $66.99
O/S/G NCE D408SR 4 8 8 $69.95
Other than the convenience of a plug in installation and incompatibility with the LGB PC software would there be any other disadvantages or incompatibilities with using them?
Thanks,
Jerry
