ok thanks alot, man i cant wait until i get these decoders, i have 12 SD70MAC's that are DCC ready and i needed to find a decoder for them, lol guess i found it, now i need to find a decoder for my 3 C44-9W's u guys know one? there all athearn RTR.
thanks
Austin
Yes reading this thread just helped me understand more then my previous thread. I think this decoder makes more sense since I wont have to solder in resistors. Now will this A6X be able to control lets say class/marker lights if you dont use mars/strobes?

Yes. You can use the A6X in any Athearn Genesis SD70 Series locomotive. Some of the newer releases have an 8pin DCC plug, but I would still replace the board with an A6X. It is easier than adding resistors for the light bulbs.
