I have found some info about adding the dcc decoder to the dc ready 44 tonner. If I m using the bachmann decoder do I still need to remove c1 & c2? Also are there any other wires to the motors I need to isolate?
Thanks
I will remove the capacitors on the board when I put a decoder inside my 44 ton. Here is a little info on DCC install.

You need to remove the capacitors only when you use a silent decoder. Bachmann's decoders are not silent. So you don't have to remove them but you can if you want to.
I had problems with MRC decoders- the loco took off at full speed uncontrolably until I cut the capacitors.
If you need a challenge, go to the below site and click on Switching at Third Street Industrial District.

The loco is a Bachmann, stick a Bachmann decoder in and run it. :D
