[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by MAX-trains</i> <br /><br />Thanks JPM335. Since you say it I do have another question. I dont know how to install decoders! I saw tonys trains exhcange mentioned on here but they charge so much for a decoder to install. Is there anyone that does it for cheap? <br />[/quote] <br />Decoders are not difficult to install, there have been plenty of articles in various magazines and many websites out there that describe how people have done it. As long as you have steady hands, good soldering skills and a good magnifer you wont have a lot of trouble but be prepared to spend and hour possibly two on particularly older loco's. <br /> <br />Loco's with DCC fitted are also readily available. Check on Kleins http://modeltrainstuff.com specials pages. They often have DCC fitted Atlas for as little as $69. I usually buy DCC fitted loco's in the North American prototypes because they are excellent value and readilly available. This leaves more time to perform micro-surgery on friends loco's and my own European loco's - especially since I discovered the tiny little Lenz-Gold decoders courtesy of this forum just a few weeks ago. <br /> <br />I have done 16 decoders so far and not had a single 'oops' yet. <br /> <br />John <br />
