[quote user="TheK4Kid"][quote user="JPM335"] I have done a few IHCs, 2 4-6-2s, a 2-6-0, and at least one more, cant remember the wheel arrangement on that. All of them were pretty straightforward. What I have always done is make a slot right above where the drawbar meets the loco just big enough for all the wires. Remember to make a slot not a hole, the shell can slip off the wires if you use a slot, but the with a hole you are pretty much stuck. With the tender I enlarged the existing hole into another slot. Its a simple solution and you dont notice either slot with the tender and engine coupled. Good luck. [/quote] I would like to put decoders in several of my steamers, but it would be nice if someone who is experienced at it could do a thread on here with pictures, showing a step by step method. Thanks.  Ed [/quote] Look at <A href="http://www.tcsdcc.com">www.tcsdcc.com</A> . TCS has lots of installations with pictures and captions on how they did it. Looking at some of them can give you a basic idea of what to do, and most decoders will tell you in the manual what wire needs to go where.
