    Greetings all [​IMG]

    Just taken delivery of a wonderful Life Like N gauge gp9 chop nose in CN livery.

    Has anyone fitted a decoder to one of these yet and if so which one?

    It runs beautifully on DCC on 00 so am expecting wonderful things when fitted [​IMG]

    Also, any idea which microtrain couplings may fit as replacement?.. its still too new for the microtrain website listings, but I have emailed them anyway :D

    Regards

    I'm pretty sure it takes a 1015 like the C424s.

    Hi,
    Anyone knows the MTL reference for couplers replacement or kit for the Canadian's Life Like GP9m ?

    Thanks

    A TCS CN-GP with some minor frame modifications. Might also have to install the decoder backwards like in the LL C424.

    When I read that it struck a chord.
    What was the reason for reversing the decoder?
