A lot of info on IHC. Thanks to all... and thanks to AustinDad for the background. I read that several have installed DCC decoders... I have just received a Premier Hudson and a Premier Shifter (0-8-0).. what is the process of setting these machines up for DCC? <br />I am a basic beginner.. no track yet.. (Wow, that IS a beginner!) But I want to start with DCC from the very beginning. What pieces will I need to isolate the pick-ups?... Did you install plugs and then insert the decoders into the plugs? These may seem like really elementary questions to many of you... but answers are hard to come by. I emailed IHC when I submitted my order.. with no response whatsoever. The special offer was to select either 3 passenger cars or the Shifter Loco.. but they didn't ask what I wanted... just shipped the Shifter... which, reading some of the preceding comments, probably turned out best for me, anyway. So the Locos were shipped fairly quickly, were received without shipment damage... but no customer service via email.. at least so far. <br />I am also shopping for a set.. just to get started... since I don't have any room to do a permanent layout. Seems to me that buying the IHC steam locos and then going to the expense of converting them to DCC would bring the total cost (and trouble) up to the point where a DCC-ready BLI would be about an equal expense.. right? 'Nuff for now.. thanks for reading all this... and I would really appreciate any advice you have.
