Decoders for Athearn N-Scale?

Anyone know when we might see decoders for Athearn's new N-Scale locomotives?

 

lenz decoders may work.

 

What? You have some of these units Mark?

 

Yup....I have two Metrolinks and two Amtraks.

Had them for several weeks.

 

So what decoder will you be installing?

 

Well, Harold....that's my question.

I use a Digitrax system, and to my knowledge they have not released a decoder for these locos yet.

I wonder if any of the other decoder manufacturers have one yet.

 

Do You have space for a tiny decoder this size: .55x.35x.12 in. Then a Zimo MX62 should fit.
It provides .7amps continuous and 1.5 amps peak, high frequency and back EMF.

I spoke to Digitrax at the Pomona, CA Train Expo this past weekend.

They were a little dismayed and more than a little disgusted that Athearn did not produce these engines decoder-ready.

The only suggestion they could offer was to try milling the frame to make just enough space ionside for a Z-scale decoder.
