The card backing of the blister pack is a fold-out instruction sheet (the LEDs and wire are between the halves of the card in a zip-lock bag, not in the blister).įigure 1: The 73100 from the top. So what do you get? In the blister pack is the decoder, two 3mm golden white LEDs and two lengths of fine brown-insulated wire for connecting a speaker of your choice. As most of my locomotives are Kato and I favour using LokSound decoders to install sound, I decided to find out. Many people have been asking on-line if they will fit into Kato N-scale models and there have been few answers. This is designed to “drop into many pre-2016 Atlas and InterMountain locos, (and others with minor modification)” ( ). The one of interest to me is the LokSound Select Direct Micro (#73100). The LokPilot V4 Direct Micro OEM (#54650) and LokSound Select Direct Micro OEM (#73199) are both designed to partner recent locomotives from InterMountain and Atlas and are available factory fitted or aftermarket to retrofit DC models. The body shells on these models are typically around 10mm wide inside. These are locomotives such as the EMD “SD” locomotives (SD/80 and 90 series) and the GE Evolution (ES44 series), AC4400 and Dash-9 type models which have an external walkway down each side rather than a full-width body shell. So, ESU recently released to market three new decoders designed to fit in N-scale “Narrow Hood” locomotives. LokSound Select Direct Micro DCC (part number 73100)
So without further ado, I’ll hand you over to Chris.
This time the article has been written by N Scale modeller Chris Hatt who has written about installing ESU LokSound Select Direct Micro DCC decoders into N scale Kato Locomotives. This week’s post is a guest post I had one of these before from fellow N Scale modeller Mike Musick who wrote an article about improving Con-Cors N Scale U50s, Turbines, and my C-855 by replacing the wheel sets.
