I purchased a 6021 controller for it and figured I'd start by installing a C80 loco decoder that I found on eBay. I thought these had dip switches but don't see any on the board. How do you address the loco? Carl

Joined: 16/02/2004(UTC) Posts: 15,443 Location: DE-NW		It could be 6603 Delta decoder, address selection with 4 solder bridges (top left on your picture, left bridge appears to be closed, three bridges left open, current address should be 78). See the 3rd decoder on this page: http://decoder.x-train.d...e=decoder/delta/6603.php

Do you know how to tell the code so I can link it to my 6021?
