Hi all, I have a general question on doc chips for the 071 class. Can I use any 21 pin dcc decoder for the loco? I got a 21 pin TCS 6 function decoder (eu621x) and tried programming it using prodigy Express unit without success. Are there only certain chips that work, such as the Murphy mm0005 or Bachmann 36-557.....thanks, Brendan

Thanks for the info Noel. I'll give it another go when I get some more chips. Brendan

Hi, I successfully chipped several of my locos awhile back- o71 , 141 and 201 class using Bachman 36-557 chips. Recently, I bought another 5 chips of the same kind but was only able to successfully program the 141 class locos and no luck with the 071 class. I use prodigy express to program. The two 71s (NIR 112 and IR 73) run fine in DC mode. I switched the chips to the 141 and they programmed just fine. I could get the Murphy 071 chip ( extra functions but more expensive) but I don't understand why the 36-557 chip does not work on the 71 class. Anybody have this experience? Thanks, Brendan

Picked up this British 1930s era layout on ebay a few months ago. Added a few buildings and Irish trains and I'm now looking forward to making it more Irish. Need to paint the phone box yellow and green for starters... It has two tracks and is DC. Enloy having a beer and watching the trains go by. Very relaxing. -
