I'm the one
I am seriously thinking about buying a Fox Valley SD70ACe DCC Ready engine and install a DCC decoder. The site that I am buying it from recommends a few DCC Decoders including a TCS EUN651 Decoder for Fox Valley models. Before I buy anything now I always check with a site called Spookshow.net first, and there lies the conundrum for me.
This is the TCS EUN651 decoder the site recommended for Fox Valley engines:
This is the SD70ACe with decoder installed from Spookshow:
I think the reason for my confusion should be obvious. I am assuming that both versions are drop in or plug in so either should be easy to install. I just need to know that I am buying the "right decoder" for this particular engine.
I looked at the Fox Valley site and it seems this is a discontinued model as it does not appear anywhere that I could see, I also looked at the TCS site for the EUN651 and did not see where the Fox Valley SD70ACe was mentioned, just a generic suitable for Fox Valley engines. When clicking on the installation info at TCS, they use a GEVO engine as the example for the install of the EUN 651.
