First...Thanks to everyone on this site for the help and information..... I did it...I converted to DCC last night and you guys were right...WHY DID I WAIT SO LONG!!After reading many many many posts on the subject...what to do..how to do it..which system to buy...I finally purchased a Digitrax Zephyr and a couple of decoders yesterday and locked myself in the basement.I jumped in with both feet flailing. I installed a Digitrax DH163AT in my Athearn SD40-2 along with replacing the cheesy headlight with real lights and installing a reverse light as well. It took some time since this was my cherry, but it all worked out and I did myself proud I should say.The Zephyr hookup was easy...too easy. Set up a program track, hooked everything up to the mainline and I was running. I played around with some CV's and got the headlights doing all kinds of neat stuff! I was acting like a 5 year old at Toys' R' Us! My wife said she has never seen a grown man go so crazy over a pulsing light on a toy...oh well....it's only just beginning dear!! I took the plunge and I'm glad I did. For those still debating (like I was for 6 months)...go ahead and go DCC, you wont regret it. Now if I can figure out how to put a decoder in my Spectrum FM H16-44 "Baby Trainmaster".Which brings up my questioning of this model number. The box says FM H16-44 Baby Trainmaster...but sourses say there was no -44 babyTM...it was FM H16-66, and the H24-66 was the Trainmaster....is Bachmann wrong?Sorry so long,John
