[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by csxguy Hey, thanks for the correction. My hobby dealer told me that they needed a special decoder for it. I'll look at the magazine. [/quote] You dont need a special decoder. A special wiring harness simplifies installation but that isn't needed either as long as you be sure to insulate EVERYTHING from the frame. And dont even try to get power pickup from the place where the motor contacts. You can't solder there. Put that wire to the light post after you take the light off (you cant wire up the stock athearn light or it will blow your decoder as soon as you put it on the track). Other than those two spots it's pretty straightforward.
