The first decoder is the tough one -- once you get past that, it gets a lot easier. Fortunately, all but 2 of the engines waiting in my "to convert" pile are old Atlas/Kato or Stewart/Kato units, and the Digitrax PnP board (DH163KO) is a cinch to install. The hardest part is soldering the old light back in on those little solder pads in the middle, but a good magnifying glass or magnifying headset help. Though at some point in the future I plan on replacing that central light with real front/rear lights on the non-F units.
