Laisdcc 860019 Motor 4 Function DCC Decoder Onboard MTC 21-pin Plug. UK Stock

Low cost DCC decoder

It works well, it controls the loco through the whole speed range and was easy to fit. No instructions with it, just make sure the black connector is on top to get it correctly oriented.

Excellent value

A very good buy at the price, only wanted it for operating the lights on a coach, no problems programing it even with out a motor load. No documentation supplied but found a very informative website "Laisdcc.com" which has a full description guide and another listing all the CVs. Needed to re-map one function on the coaches to enable lights to be on or off not on/off, this was very easy using the said guideRead full review

Great value for money and reliable. The go-to non-sound decoder for me.

The full range now offered is very comprehensive, very good value, as far as my experience goes extremely reliable and seems to deal with the electrical vagaries of the full range of OO loco motors really well. The only downside (and the reason you only get 4 stars) is that at any one time the supply of the full range by the limited number of stockists in the UK is a bit patchy. However, if I need a non-sound decoder now then my first choice is always Lais. Read full review

Lass expensive decoders

Have bought these decoders on previous occasions, proved to be good product so decided to buy 2 for my Bachman/LT Museum S Stock train which requires a decoder for each motor car. Worked perfectly as soon as I ran them on my test rig. The set runs great on the track, using Hornby e-Link as the controller, perfect combinationRead full review

Good value decoder

This is a better product than might be expected at this price point.
So far I have bought six of the 21 pin decoders and all have been excellent.
Quiet running and good motor control on 28 steps or 128 steps: they also have many functions for ditch lights, beacons, etc.
There is a good set of instructions available for download online, which includes tips for CV programming, lighting, and resetting the device when confusion reigns.
Essential for a beginner like me.
All good stuff: thoroughly recommended. YMMV.Read full review

Budget DCC

I've had several of these and they seem to work first time "out if the box".OK, Lenz decoders work even better without adjustment but they are 2.5 times dearer! Watch the power needs of your life. Heljan locos are by reputation a bit heavy on the juice, but the chip is fine in their 128 DMU parcel van. After all, it isn't going to be pulling any more power than when it runs light. Something like their class 47 with a long rake of rolling stock might be a bit risky with a Laisdcc chip inside. LAISDCC's "stay alive" capacitor is very reasonable too.Read full review

StayAlive.

Very competitively priced, compact design, I found it very easy to program.
The loco ran very smoothly and quiet at low speed and accelerated realistically.
The addition of StayAlive greatly enhanced the performance at lower speeds, no more flickering lights!!Read full review

Quality chip very happy.

quality chip & with the stay alive even better I had a problematic Bachmann 10000 diesel which would constantly stall at most speeds & over points effecting its running & lighting having swapped over to the lais & stay alive that problem disappeared it now runs very slowly with no light flicker. I would say the power pack for stay alive is very small & managed to hide it in the locos cab. I would not hesitate to purchase more.Read full review

Exceptionally good value for money

Exceptionally good value for money. Purchased it for my Caroline Coach and it worked faultlessly straight "out of the box". Other than changing the address, I didn't need to adjust any more CV's and it only occupies a small footprint making it the perfect choice. A++++Read full review

Why buy anything else

I bought this as I had heard some good things about Laisdcc. However this is not good, its brilliant, I cant believe the quality and ease of use, good price as well, I am now converted to this product, any decoders I want in future, this is the one I'm buyingRead full review
