I just wanted to drop a note to everyone say hello and to let you know that I have sucessfully converted 8 Athearn F-7s , 1 Athearn GP-38, 1 Athearn GP-40 and 2 Athearn SDP-40-2 engines from DC to DCC. I used the Digitrax DH 163AT DCC decoders.
Your excellent advice and guidance made this possible and I saved a lot of money by doing it myself.
I hope that our on-line discussions were as much help to others as they were to me. It wasn't hard at all. Thank you!
Congratulations Brad. Once you get past the first one, the rest are easy.
Now you can help others with their decoder installs. Keeping the information flowing to newcomers is the lifeblood of the board.
With all the money you saved you can buy more locomotives. :D
Regards
