Are these decent running engines? How difficult would it be to add a DCC decoder to these units? I think they've been discontinued. Is that true? Thanks in advance for any info.

Mine is, some have said that they are not happy with thiers.

not to bad, use a Digitrax DZ123 or DZ143 or TCS M1 or similar size decoder. It is a small locomotive.

Model Power is no longer importing them, and haven't for a year or so. They may still be in production in Brazil.
