Walthers GP 20 DCC Ready ... NOT!!!!! - Fifer - 04-20-2011 It appears that Walthers is saying it is ready for a board replacement but NO board is currently made to fit it. TCS is apparently saying 8 weeks out. I have no idea on other DCC companies plans for one. Well I could not wait around so here was my solution. <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.fiferhobby.com/html/how_to_install_a_tcs_z2_decode.html">http://www.fiferhobby.com/html/how_to_i ... ecode.html</a><!-- m --> Thanks Guys , Mike Re: Walthers GP 20 DCC Ready ... NOT!!!!! - Squidbait - 04-20-2011 It looks like (not having one in hand, I can't say for certain) that a Digitrax DN163A0 would fit. I've used it in Atlas GP7s, and all that it really needs is to have the board filed slightly to fit the narrower chassis. Re: Walthers GP 20 DCC Ready ...
