Title: Ringmaster Engine
Post by: pdansalvish on October 17, 2013, 08:11:05 PM
I recently purchased the Ringmaster train set.  Can I convert the engine to DCC and if so how?

PS: I am a newbie in the DCC.

This is not for a newbie.
You would have to squeeze a small decoder into the loco and do some rewiring. Most steamers have the decoder in the tender. According to the loco diagram, the tender is not ready for a decoder. No wires between the loco and tender and no metal wheels for the tender.
