This video was VERY helpful; thank you for it. I’d previously decided to use a motor-only decoder in my LifeLike GP20, but after watching this I’m ordering a Lokpilot Micro.
This was a nice tutorial, however, it would have be nice to see some close ups of the components used and assembly of the components before the shell went back on.
Hi friend! Can I connect the pins of the chip Loc Pilot 5 micro DCC (6 pins) direct to the pin conector in my locomotive Fleischmann 735507 N scale? I did never be anything like this because I always use a analogical trains. Thanks!!
I just checked and the BR101 model has a NEM651 interface. The six pin Lokpilot 5 is for the NEM651 interface so it should work to plug the decoder directly into the interface if there is enough room in the engine. Just make sure that you plug the decoder in the correct orientation.
Yes, as long as it physically fits. I've had a Digitrax DZ126 recently, but that's a little too large. The wire colors should be the same on all DCC decoders. It never hurts to double check with the manual though.

For the transistor what miliamp/Volt was used for this project?
Its possible to do the same with other Decoder Brand?
