Robert,

The decoder in the saddle tank loco is hard wired and every thing is real small. Here's a couple of shots of the innards. Wish I had put a dime next to it, so you could see how small all this is...

I have a DC layout and run this loco with the decoder left in.

I know this doesn't help much, just an opinion from a DC guy. I'm with you, but this one is a tuffy.

Regards,

Jonathan

This IS the hardest loco to put a decoder in!...... I would not remove it, unless there is no other choice.

I am currently putting a Tsunami sound one in. It will fit, if I get over my "Fits"!!

;D

I have this loco I picked up DCC ready a few months ago. I will check and see if it has metal clips that have to be removed for wiring a decoder in. I can send the clips to you. Not at home right now.
