Which decoder will you be installing in each locomotive?

First Decoder Install -- Very Nervous
Posted by RideOnRoad on Thursday, September 11, 2014 4:56 PM

Tomorrow my Zephyr and decoders will arrive and I am full of nervous excitement with the prospect of the migration to DCC. The scariest part for me is the installation of the decoders. I am installing TCS decoders in two Kato N-Scale locomotives, an F3A and an SD45. I have looked at the installation instructions on the TCS website and it looks fairly straightforward. Any hints, tips, and/or warnings would be much appreciated. I will be using a maginifying visor and have a fairly steady hand. Confused
