NMRA 8pin plugs

[RAM]

How big of a job is it to install the NMRA 8pin plug.  I have just been hard wiring the units that are not plug and go..

Why bother?

It is probably just as easy, and more flexible, to hard wire-in decoders: when you can then choose where to pack them in the body.

that is what I was thinking.  The way I look at it the only time it would be better is if you want to some day replace a decoder.
