Bill: When we discussed a similar topic about the AM Train Masters & DCC sometime ago, I was surprised to learn there was a DCC version. I still have not seen one. Maybe you can bring it to the next BASS meeting so I can check it out. I had to hardwire my decoder. No big deal, but it would have been nice to have had the plug. I am pulling out the decoders (DH163s) to install Soundtraxx Tsunamis when they arrive. Maybe I will install a plug instead of hardwiring the decoder. Hey all you DC folks, don't let this talk about DCC installations scare you away - DCC is still way easier to install and more fun than DC! Arden are you listening? OK, now that I have stirred the pot, I better go hide now. :-) John Gibson Rocklin, CA The poll results are in....... To REPLY to the list, use REPLY ALL, to reply to the sender, use REPLY.
