Presuming you already have an operating DCC system, the cost of installing a decoder into an HO scale engine yourself would be limited to the cost of the decoder itself. There are numerous sites on the web that list the prices of various decoders, from the basic motor and lamp controls to a complete sound system with several special effects. Tony's Train Exchange and Loy's Toys offer a wide selection of decoders with prices listed and they also install them for a price. <br /> <br />Doing a soldering installation of a decoder yourself really isn't as daunting a task if you know how to solder. Most decoders are offered as a plug in version if your locomotive has the plug adapter or is otherwise known as DCC ready. <br /> <br />Ken, D&J Railroad, Stafford, VA
