Many Stewart locos can use the DH165A0. Some can even use the NCE-DASR. While the NCE-DASR and DH163PK0 are direct-replacement drop-ins, any wired decoder can also be used to replace the light board. Also, some have the NMRA socket. In this case, any wired decoder with an NMRA plug can be used. |
| Alco Century 628/630 |
Any wired decoder
with an NMRA plug on a 1.75" GS
Harness. |
No recommendations. |
| Baldwin AS-16 and AS-616 | The TCS-DP5X
and D-DH163IP plug right in
- no wires. The DN121IP won't work - it cannot be plugged in in the
correct orientation. Decoders with an NMRA plug wire harness will
work. But which decoder you choose will determine how difficult the
installation will be. Obviously, the Z- and N-scale decoders will
be easiest. HO-scale decoders can work, but require either the short
(mounting it in rear) or long harness (mounting it in front). All-in-all,
I recommend the TH150DP. If transponding is needed, use a D-TL1
in conjunction with the TH150DP, or use the D-DH163IP, DZ143PS
or TCS-M1PS. |

| Baldwin S-12 | D-DH163IP,DZ143PV or TCS-TCS-M1PV. The TCS-DP5X won't work, nor will normal-length HO- or N-scale decoders. | No recommendations. |
| Baldwin VO-1000 |
Any wired decoder with our WHPV
NMRA plug harness. |
TU doesn't have Baldwin sound and doesn't make a decoder specifically for the VO-1000. But you can retrofit a TUADA (Alco) by taking the brass tabs from the Stewart board and fitting them onto the TU board. Note: This is NOT an easy drop-in installation. It requires some ingenuity on your part. |
