sapphire decoder
Bought this to convert a 50 year old Tri-ang Princess Victoria, having not realised the standard decoder cannot supply enough current for the older style X03/04 motors. The transformation was quite amazing, it brought a whole new lease of life to the old train, and the control now offered was quite something. It does however require meticulously clean track and wheels, but the slow running it brings compared with the old controllers makes it all worth while. A tad expensive at around £35, could be an expensive job to convert a big set over to DCC. There is no wiring schedule in the booklet unlike the standard decoder but the info should avialable online, as the decoder is primarily aimed at DCC ready trains and not pre DCC models such as I have used it on.

GREAT DECODDER BUT HAS BECOME EXPENSIVE
I find these excellent decoders probably as good as most out there but over the last 12 months they have become way to expensive when you think that you can now pick up Lenz cheaper.
