After experiencing multiple running problems with engines using Hornby's quite poor standard 00 decoder, I was in dire need of a similar size replacement chip. [Ironically they are all Hornby locos with chip problems. The bachmann engines run fine with the Hornby chip!
],
Best replacement so far: The TCS MC2. Its smaller than the Hornby, being designed to run in N-gauge. But can easily cope with OO or HO - and its miles smoother than the Hornby chip!
So far Ive converted my most troublesome Hornby-chipped locos to the MC2 - and surprisingly they've never ran better!
I'm tempted to convert all my stock to the TCS.
Best features of the MC2 for me are its size, smoothness and the fact that it comes ready insulated in its own sleeve. What a great little chip!
What do other people think of it?
