I have a point to point at home with Digitrax and belong to two clubs that both have Digitrax layouts. I am electronix chalenged, so I will tend to look for a DCC plug equiped loco when shopping. HOWEVER, if there is a have-to-have that does not have a plug I will buy it and have a capable modeler install the hard wired decoder. Like a lot of modelers I know, I have more locos than I could ever use at once on the same layout, which has been pointed out by the family budget coordinator (spousal unit), so I only buy locos now when there is a have-to-have out there, like a CNW RS1, and stick to converting the ones I have to DCC. An article in Model Railroding about year ago had an excellant article on converting Athearn engines to DCC. It had pictures of every step of the process and easy to follow text. (Idiots guide to DCC, I call it) I wi***here were more such well done articles on other nonplug types. Most of the instructions for DCC installations seem to assume that I know what they are talking about when I don't. Enough rambling on already!
