Thankyou for the info and yes i do know how to solder so hopefully i can figure this all out.

Thanks for the post that helps allot because after 15 years of not running trains. And now my son wants to start up i know what to do with all my old stuff.

i just recently started HO scale trains with my son and this dcc is new to me. I had Santa Fe Flyer set when i was a kid but that was 20 years ago so it was all dc. We now have the Ringmaster and Thomas set. And it was after i left the train show that i found out about dcc. So i wasn't able to ask if the trains we bought could be converted to dcc.
