Dapol N Gauge DCC Ready Decoder Installation Service

Installation of a 6-pin or Next18 decoder into any Dapol N Gauge steam loco, diesel loco, electic multiple unit (EMU) or diesel multiple unit (DMU) that is marked 'DCC Ready 6 Pin' or 'DCC Ready Next18'.If your model is an EMU or DMU, the non-motorized end car will also usually have a socket for a decoder to enable the directional red/white lights to be DCC controlled. For directional lighting to work at both ends of your EMU/DMU,you will need two decoders. For models where the motor is in one of the centre cars (e.g. Dapol Class 220 / Class 221 Voyagers), you will also require a decoder in the leading and trailing dummy cars if you want the directional lighting to function correctly on DCC.

When placing your order, you can either pay straight away or when the conversion is complete. If you choose to pay immediately, you can use your debit or credit card, or pay in installments via Klarna. All payments are 100% safe and secure, powered by Stripe.
