Hello everyone. I have just joined the forum today and I have put an introduction in the appropriate section. I hope that you won't mind me posting a question here immediately.
I recently bought a Bachmann EZ digital controller and two loco decoders. I took the body off a Hornby 8F which I bought last week as DCC ready. I fitted the chip and everything works as expected. I then tried to replace the body and found that I couldn't. There doesn't seem to be room inside for the decoder! Has anyone done this so they can give me advice? Would a Hornby decoder be smaller and is it their way of forcing you to buy one? I am now going to try to fit the other decoder into a Bachmann Jubilee also bought last week. If I have the same problem getting a Bachmann decoder into a Bachmann engine then I will really be annoyed (previous alternative word deleted).
