My controllers were ultra tiny and cost me 44.95 per at Modellers Choice in
upper Hamilton (Upper James b/w Rymal and Stonechurch for those interested)
THey have lots in stock--a 25 dollar one, but the length of that barely fit

The DN121's (in fact, any DN series) decoders can be a tad long for fitting
crosswise.  However, the good news is it is not the PCB that is long, but the
heat shrink.

Therefore, my suggestion is to gently cut the end of the heat shrink with a
sharp knife.  (not the end with the wires!!!!!!!)

(...) Mario installed a Digitrax DH121 into a motor pack for me last night. It's an HO scale unit ($28 at George's Trains in Toronto) but it didn't fit in the pack, so we have it actually wired out into the inside of the locomotive. I have the pack (...)
