I started this hobby about 1 1/2 years ago and my first train was the Chattanooga 0-6-0 steam DC set. Since then I've gone all DCC with my locos (yes, they are Bachmann, and I'm using an E-Z Command). I also added a Bachmann DCC decoder (E-Z Command, two function; pretty low profile) to a Trainline FA-1 which went smoothly. Now I'm looking at the 0-6-0 and wondering if I might put the same Bachmann decoder in it. Is that feasible? The body of the loco looks a little difficult to remove so I'd like to know if it's worth it before tearing into things. If it is possible to do this I'd also appreciate advice on removing the shell with the least amount of damage.

I see the term "prototype" used in message boards but I don't know what all it entails in regards to model railroading.

Just hooking up an e-z command dcc control (my first venture into dcc). Programming seems simple and I've already gotten two dcc switches working. My only dcc engine right now is a Spectrum GE 44 ton switcher that I got new for Christmas. I've programmed it for various numbers on the control but on each one it makes a sound like it's geting power but never moves. I've verified that there is indeed a decoder inside In theory it should just work. Ideas anyone? Maybe something simple I'm missing? Thanks for help.
