Hey Ya'll I have achived what was considered to be impossible for teenagers(13 year olds at least). I have installed a DCC Lenz decoder in an IHC 2-8-2 Mikado. By following the steps meantined in the Article on istalling a decoder in IHC engines, and using a cold-heat soldering iron (it is a soldering iron that heats up in a few seconds and cools down in a few seconds right after it is finished with the job, this is the most important tool in my tool kit), I succesfully installed a Lenz decoder in less than 1 hour. I have also purchased a Bachmann E-Z DCC system with a Norfolk and Southern Geep, so thi locomotive is a great addition to my fledgling DCC layout. For anolog operations, I use my Bachmann 4449 Daylight, my Smokey Mountain Express 0-6-0, or my 4-4-0 Jupitor. I love DCC, and a 6x9 layout is being built. Nick
