I'm sure this is going to sound like a pretty daft question to those of you who use DCC, but at the moment I don't and am unsure. I am considering converting my current DC OO layout to DCC.

There seems to be a number of different types of decoder on the market from a number of manufacturers. Add to this the fact that you can get single sided, double sided and some without any wiring harness at all I'm confused as to which will fit my locos.

Are there any sites around that give advice on which ones fit specific locomotive? I don't particularly want to purchase one only to find that I can't fit it due to space constraints.

The option of no wiring harness looks the better option to my uninitiated eye, but I guess there are reasons why it might not be the obvious choice.

Any help would be most gratefully received as always.

Many thanks.

Mark.

As usual many thanks to all who have responded about which decoders to use.

I've looked at the Bromsgrove Models website which was very useful. It does however mention removing capacitors from the circuit board. I have to say I am slightly nervous at this - is this absolutely necessary?
