    Digitrax has a decoder selector tool on their website.

    Kato/Kobo sells them with preinstalled LokSound decoders, so ESU must make at least one that fits. I'm sure Kato would be happy to tell you which one.

    Digitrax selector tool only points to a DCC only (no sound) decoder.

    The ESU 58741 LokSound5 should fit... It's the same decoder that fits the FEF..

    Look like is not that one. It is not K7 is K6. Ftom their site:
    Note: This decoder features a specialized motor control algorithm for use with the core-less motor used in the FEF-3. For use in other engines such as the ACS-64 by Kato which use a similar decoder, see the K7D4. But ESU its really full customizable for motor control, will work just fine
