Yes, you can install decoders in these locos, but I would shy away from the LGB Type 2 decoder and go with Lenz, Zimo, or NCE brand. Much more options in those brand of decoders. Also, realize that even within the same "alpha series" of a Stainz loco production, there were numerous gearbox types--and the "sandwhich" gearbox is not easy to convert -- unless you are quite skilled mechanically and electrically. I converted a sandwhich Harz 2-6-2 loco (3 axle drive) and it really got on my nerves getting it right. <br />It can be done...but it will take time and LOTS of patience! If a buddy or firm you know will do it for you, all the better--the only problem with going to LGB for install is of course, you will be forced to use the TYPE 2 MTS decoder. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
