Well Done

A very informative article with all the details included that one will need... takes the intimidation away.

HO DCC install

The author mentions he will focus on HO installations since it is the most popular scale.

YES, HO scale is popular but it FAILS for N and Z scale.  This is because there is a HUGE

amount of room in an HO engine to run wires, locate decoders etc.  Try working in N scale.

If a decoder will fit in N scale, it is a breeze to fit in HO, G or any other larger scale.  But not vice-versa.

SIZE does matter.

Thanks

Thanks for tackling this complex subject!  I think the more decoder installation examples MRH can show, the better off we all will be, as there are so many different possibilities out there.  I am really looking forward to lights and sound installation ideas.  Thanks so much for doing this.  One Athearn Blue box down, 5 more to go.

DCC Impulses

As one who has had a number of successes and failures in DCC installations, this article was very helpful in reiterating the important steps to consider before sticking wires into parts unknown. I'm a looking forward to more from Bruce!
