Paul, I will be doing the same thing here in a few months time (I still am in the benchwork phase). But I have 3 Athearn locomotives I bought in 1985. They have never been run since I did not have room for a layout at the time, but now I do. <br /> <br />I was at the National Model RR show in San Jose in July 2000, and a modeler there told me that current decoders would not work on 1985 Athearns, that I needed later models (made after 1990). Is that true? Do I have to buy new motors, etc for these loco's? Is there any way to install them with DCC? Thanks for any suggestions. <br /> <br />John
