Decoder for Bachmann class 450

[Monkey28]

What decoder do you need for the Bachman 00 class 450?

 

I have a Bachmann 21 pin decoder will that do?

 

 

How many functions does the 450 need for the lights?. Can the interior and cab lights be controlled be the decoder?

 

Thanks

The lights all come on with function F0, with physical switches for the cab lights buried under the cab air conditioner pods.

The Bachmann decoder should be adequate.

For my own three units (two converted from class 350/1 units and the third a 'proper' class 450), two have ESU LokSound v3.5 decoders and the third has a  Lenz Silver+ 21 decoder.

Thanks, SR man

 

It's a shame they didn't make it so the decoder could individually switch the cab lights and the internal lights on or off

They would have done IF Realtrack Models had made one before them!!!!!   

 

As the Class 158 was delayed 'De-liberately' in my opinion till the Class 156 from RT appeared, this Bachmann 158 will be 'State of the Art' I will put money on it!

Probably would be if it was released now, but will be out of date by the time it does get on the shelves !
