Les1952 Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 ANY 6-pin direct-fit chip will work fine with the DJModels WD saddletank. I have Zimo sound, LaisDCC, Gaugemaster and Zimo silent chips in mine. All work well. Les Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRman Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Bachmann's 36-568 6-pin decoder is really a Zimo one anyway, and works well in the DJM J94. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The DJ J94 is a coreless motor that proves difficult to run smoothly with some chips that do not have the ability to cope well with the BEMF requirements. I've found Zimo 617 / 622 work OK, DCC Concepts ZN6 do not. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll just repeat that Zimo, Gaugemaster, Dapol and LaisDCC chips all work fine in mine. Les Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les It was your comment "ANY 6-pin direct-fit chip will work fine with the DJModels WD saddletank" which I was pointing out was incorrect. Commenting on what you have that works for you is much safer than blanket statements... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
