I know I need the 60941 motor kit but I don’t know what decoder I need to use that will let me still run it in analog and hopefully 1 day in digital. The 60983 decoder was recommended by the website I found the motor kit on but the description just says digital, there was no mention of analog use. Thanks Jeff

You could also use the 60760 kit if you don't need the additional functions of the 60983. It includes the same parts as the 60941 kit and a simple fx decoder.

Has everything to do the DCM motor conversion and has a simple decoder that automatically detects the analog track. Has only the F0 function (lights) and comes from the factory programmed with address 78 (re-programmable of course) I have used this kit in several loks and it works great! Regards Jean-Pierre
