dasatcopthorne Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Guys. Has anyone found a decoder (not sound) that will run an old Mainline Peak type motor. I currently got a Hornby Sapphire (I think) in the loco but the control is a bit poor. Cheers Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
34theletterbetweenB&D Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 A Zimo MX600 will cudgel the best possible performance from it. You will have to experiment with CV settings to obtain optimum running. This is where Zimo excels with the range of settings available. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium peterm1 Posted February 13 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 13 Spot on. I resurrected an old split chassis J72 that had worn through the bearings/pickups with a Zimo decoder. I made phosphor bronze pick ups for. It sounds like a coffee grinders but runs as smooth as silk. If a Zimo can't fix it... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
