    I am thinking about making a branchline on my N scale layout Nn3, and am wondering if DCC will fit Nn3 models [​IMG] [​IMG]? I suspect so, since they are generally modified N scale equipment,but I thought I would check with you all first, before I move ahead with plans!! Thanks!!

    John, go to the Digitrax page and look for the DZ121 decoder. Also, see the thread a few lines down about the new Lenz (it is mispelled in the thread title) decoder. The DZ121 is, you guessed it, designed for Z scale locomotives. It is about as big as a dime.

    So in direct answer to your question, yes, it is possible to DCC an Nn3 locomotive.

    Thanks Corey!! I knew you would know [​IMG]!! Right now this is just in the development stage, but I though it would add a little variety to the layout [​IMG] [​IMG]!! Happy Modelling!!

    JCater,
    I put one of those digitrax DZ121's in the smoke box of an HO 0-6-0 and a Soundtrax DSD in the tender. Works just fine!
