I have a Digitrax DH123 decoder that I am having trouble fitting into an Athearn GP38-2. When I put the shell back on the loco with the decoder within, when the motor runs it sounds like it is rubbing up against something and there is a noticeable speed drop from without the decoder. I have changed to lamps that did not come with the kit and have cut off the light bracket, hopefully allowing for more room for the wires. Can anyone give me any hints/tips? <br />While I'm typing, what's the best way to attach the lamps to the locomotive shell so they stay put? Would epoxy work? <br />Thanks, <br />Reed G-J
