TCS DP2X-UK and Bachman 4MT 4-6-0

[esca]

I recently purchased the TCS DP2X decoder for the Bachman 4MT.

It fits the socket but it is too wide to fit into the boiler.

I could file the boiler away but it would show.

Is there another TCS decoder that would fit ?

I have been to their web site which was no help,and I have emailed them, but no reply...as yet.

I am impatient.

Same here. I've ended up fitting it with a standard Bachmann decoder with harness, as there is space to tuck it away despite the size of the decoder. I suspect other decoders with harness will fit too. I'm a bit miffed about that because although the decoder works fine it repeatedly resets to address 3.

Which TCS decoder do you have?

In the post title you have TCS DP2X-UK but in the post you say it's a TCS DP2X.

These are different decoders - the one with the UK suffix is narrow, the one with no UK suffix is wide.

The TCS DP2X-UK is narrow enough to fit virtually all Hornby/Bachmann models.

There is a list of locos the DP2X-UK won't fit at the bottom of http://www.bromsgrovemodels.co.uk/tcsdecodersdp2x.htm

Neither will fit the Bachmann 4MT 4-6-0. The DP2X-UK is just too wide for the boiler opening, whereas the DP2X wouldn't fit by a mile.

 

I have DP2X-UK fitted to the standard 5MT and the 4MT 2-6-0 without a problem.

Thanks guys for the replies.

I have the DP2X-Uk and as RFS says,it will not fit.

 

I have had a reply from TCS.

They tell me I need an M1P-SH.
