It is the SAME model in a Spectrum box. Check on Bachmann`s web site under Bachmann products Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Jackson Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 (edited) There's a box pic on Hattons which shows "pcb dcc", maybe a dumb question but what does that mean. http://www.hattons.co.uk/18061/Bachmann_Branchline_36_151_Plasser_OWB10_with_crane_Self_propelled_track_maintenance_vehicle_motorised_/StockDetail.aspx Edited October 29, 2016 by Philip Jackson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t seen that code before. I assume it means that there’s no decoder socket but you could solder a decoder (one with a harness) to the printed circuit board. You would then have to find somewhere to put the decoder, which may not be possible. No doubt you will have picked up too that the box belongs to a different model.

Piggie Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 The Bachmann 36-151 has an 8 pin socket hidden away under the load. The box is clearly marked 8DCC and the Bachmann web site also clearly shows that it has an 8 pin socket. There is limited space under the load for the decoder. The load is metal and needed for the weight so a lightweight replacement load to give more room for the decoder is not practical. A small decoder is required. I have not yet decoded which to buy. The model I purchased new had no instructions at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
