Since getting involved in DCC I have fitted plug n play chips to my DCC ready stock, I was sometimes baffled why the decoders are so big. So, me being me I got to wondering if N gauge chips would be a better solution but before going out and splashing the cash thought Id better ask some questions of people more knowledgable than myself.
Do N gauge decoders use the same size plug? (not a problem for retrofitting to older locos or non dcc ready)
Are N gauge decoders limited in the available functions such as lights/sound etc?
Are N guage decoders rated at the appropiate ampage to handle the power demand of a OO loco?
And finally is there much difference in price?
Im not trying to re-invent the wheel just trying to come up with a practical solution.
Thanks
