Upgrading loco motors

If you have high amp motors, go to a O or G gauge decoder. I have a 50's Hobbytown E7 with that big DC91 motor. After several burnouts of so-called 3 amp decoders, my favorite hobbyshop owner got me a Digitrak unit. I can now pull 3 express reefers and 12 passenger cars up a 4% grade from a dead stop and be accelerating all 20 feet (approx.) uphill. Spend the money the first time for the right decoder. Wiser but poorer. <br /> <br />da grouch
