Hi, before the upgrade to the new website (nice job) there was a member who advised that he had installed dcc decoders in several 4-8-4 locos. I can't find the messages with the new system. Does anyone know who that person is? Or any pics of this kind of install? I've checked train control systems www.tcsdcc.com
My local hobby shop advised he would charge $300 to install. Just wanted to see what would cost $300. ;)
You can purchase a new Bachmann DCC equipped 4-8-4 locomotive for $100-150.
You may be thinking of Mike O.
Last I recall he no longer has a website.
Here is what is required if you have a Bachmann Plus line model.

$300... I surmise the fellow is telling you he does not want to do the installation.
