Does Athearn sell the DCC quick boards that are installed in the RTR series? I did not see them listed on the website so I was wondering if there was another place that I could order them?
I’m not sure if you’re asking for a complete replacement board, or just a decoder to plug into the Quick Plug. If the latter, you need to get a decoder with a 9-pin inline socket. Digitrax has several with a 9-pin connector.
Sorry, I’m talking about the entire board. I already have digitrax decoders.
Yeah, they have them on their Web site. The part number is 90616 and they’re $12.98 each.
I considered getting a few of them to convert some BB loco’s I have, but I decided it’s too expensive and too much work for no real benefit.
Instead, I use NCE DA-SR’s, sticking them in place with double-sided tape. Works just as good and it’s half as expensive as the combination of an RTR board and a plug-in decoder.
Of course, if you’re replacing an existing RTR board for some reason that’s a different story.
HTH,
