They also have examples of the sold out GBRf liveries, it's funny that the GBRf ones are the popular ones, isn't it ?

Peter749 Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 I have a DCC ready version on order - can somebody say which Decoder should I order - obviously a non sound version Thanks Peter [Sorry if this question has been asked before - difficult to find an answer in the thread.] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We hope to have some ‘ready to install’ in stock shortly if it helps but any good 6 function decoder (ideally with stay alive support) will work well. All Of the integrated circuits to manage the pantographs are built into the PCB on board so the decoder doesn’t have to do anything clever. 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note these are for pre-order ... not as in they have them already Pretty sure this is Adam Cann of Cann's Models, Okehampton. I would advise steering well clear based on his "too good to be true" prices being exactly that when his website had a sale on a few months back. I don't know if everyone got their money back but a couple of us resorted to talking to his family on Facebook. Anyhow, hopefully this week is going to see 3 of these beauties landing on my doormat (92020, 92010 and 92017 from Kernow), for now (and likely always), the price is the price for these. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure it needs to be the Lokpilot/Loksound “DCC” version not the MKL, the MKL is the European version which is multi protocol where as the DCC version is just DCC, which is used in most of the RoW, I think people have had issues with some of the lighting functions using the MKL. Can AS confirm this pleased/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold McC Posted December 5, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 5, 2022 Correct. MKL is a truncation of Marklin. This chips are designed for Marklin systems. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get DCC and standard MKLs I believe. MKL is just that outputs 5 and 6 (from memory) are high output rather than logic level. DCC and standard, both are fine for what most of us in the UK need it's that the standard one works on AC stuff and some other protocols (as well as DCC and analogue DC). DCC and standard do however have different acceleration values, i.e. a different method for calculating time to tip speed. I expect it will be non MKLs, I just remember the Hattons 66s needing MKLs. Only UK loco I know of that does. Edited December 5, 2022 by TomScrut Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only UK loco I know of that does. No one is disputing that, but it’s not the answer to the question. The MKL version no longer has the “three step” accel/deccel settings, you have to use a speed map rather than what the U.K. has been used to since DCC first raised its head. That’s the real annoying change to the ESU decision to market this version in the U.K., after all the Maerklin/selectrix/Motorola system are almost unheard of here.

MKL is only to do with the outputs to work with certain Marklin locos, and is available in standard and DCC format. The standard Lokpilot (i.e. not DCC) doesn't have 3 point acceleration table, MKL or not. Anyway. We have gone off topic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely the European multi-protocol version only has speed map tuning, I found this out last Christmas when I bought five V5 sound decoders and got in a right pickle trying to use three step speed set up.
