Perfect to Convert an 8pin Loco to 21pin
I have now standardised on only fitting 21pin decoders to my locos and installing fully independent lighting. I have now used this little board in half a dozen 8pin to 21pin conversions and it is perfect for the job and at a fair price.
Yes, it is small as commented negatively by one reviewer, but that is just what you want, replacing the large PCBs in many locos frees up room for speakers etc.Read full review

Great piece of kit to upgrade DC locos ready for DCC.
This wiring connection for model locomotives is great. It allows the connection of 8-pin decoders to locos that are not DCC ready. Making it easily possible to add DCC decoder and even sound to old locos. These are good quality and a very reasonable price. Excellent!Read full review

Excellent for DCC conversion
When converting locos to DCC, wiring looms can be useful. But these sockets make life sooo easy. I have recommended them to others on many occasions and they now mostly use these for conversion work. Please note! They are too big for N gauge Read full review

Handy hotwire
Neat little board which makes it easy to hard-wire locos for DCC and sound.
It takes the 21 pin MTC decoder, which seems to be the European standard at the moment.
Needs some pretty neat soldering, mind, so not the easiest option for some.Read full review

Really useful DCC accessory
I needed a way to use an existing small decoder in the cramped space in a Hornby Terrier. A plug in 6 pin won't fit. This proved ideal. It is compact size but with solder points in both sides (3 per side) it makes it so much easier to solder the 6 leads from the decoder. It was then plugged in and decoder could then go on top of the socket and it all fitted snugly in the limited space available. (Hornby with slack quality control supplied loco with 2 broken wires to socket and all wires black!)Read full review

An excellent small resistor array for DCC LED installations
If you need to use a number of 1K resistors eg within DCC LED circuits these little boards are very useful. My recent application was for 6 individually switched LEDs at each cab end of an 00-gauge electric loco and I mounted a full board on the back of the DIP switches using 6 of the eight resistors. I reckon they could be cut into smaller groups if necessary. One of several good products from LaisDCC Read full review

Most easy to use and understand. I have made multi purchases so far and will probably do so again.

Great little device.
This little device makes fitting a decoder to a non-DCC ready item a breeze.
What a great item. It has certainly made things easier for me.

All good, many thanks. I think with two ...
All good, many thanks. I think with two jumper wires I can revert to DC if I need to as I want to try a large number of older locos with DCC, but may not put decoders in all of them.
