I did mine a long while back but according to my records it has a TCS MC2 decoder hardwired in with 1K resistors for the front and rear LED lights. My record also indicates I removed the cast weight in the tender and installed a piece of sheet lead. If I recall there was 2 different tenders a tall one and a short thin tender. I have the thin tender that had no room with the cast weight. Be careful with the wiring on these. Mine broke a wire at the plug/drawbar for the headlight about a month after the decoder was installed.

For your 0-6-0 I suggest a Digitrax DH123PS or DZ125PS. If you are looking for a Proto 0-8-0, make sure the unit has tender pickups. If it doesnt, then pass on the unit.
