Hello,
I just got my first oval done to test out some locos that I bought at an auction. I have a HO GP 40 Conrail and a 8-40CW that are both DCC equipped. They both run but I would like to replace the decoder with a NCE decoder.
How do you get the entire top off the loco to access the motors and the decoders. I am guessing that these are not real cheap locos, so I do not want to break anything. There are a couple others that the tops pull right off and really do not stay on.
Also, from what I read it is well worth the time to replace the decoders. Is this true?
Any help would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
