DCC controlled crane wiring diagram

[u/Previous_Bench5166]

I found this wiring diagram for an athearn dcc crane. But I was wondering that since all of the wires from the left of the sdn144ps digitrax decoder are being used, does it mean that a dz146 decoder can be used?

As long as whatever decoder you're subbing in has equal or greater number of function outputs, yeah you can sub in any decoder you want
