I haven't delved too deep in searching for who makes any that come decoder equipped or plug and play ready, but I'm primarily interested in SW's and/or MP's. If nobody makes any RTR DCC ready, how hard are decoders to install into smaller engines? I may also build a few large industrial complexes on my layout and I've thought about using the tiny 44 tonners (I think that's the size) as industry-owned hostlers. Anybody tried fitting a decoder in one of those? I think Model Power made one a few years back. Not sure if they still do, but right now it's just notes in the margin of my plans, not sure if I want anything that small yet or not. <br /> <br />Also, what SW models might CSX still be using in present day service? SW1000? SW1500? or would they use something else? <br /> <br />Thanks!
