I have an NCE Z14SR decoder. To clear the shell I would have to remove almost all of the metal above the motor. Could possibly mount it under the front light location. However, to install LED lights both ends of the frame would also have to enlarged to accept the LEDs. So unless someone out there has tried this & has a better suggestion this engine will remain part of the small DC controlled portable layout. That way it will have a mixed liverly of C&O, Seaboard & BN engines. After all it's my railroad & I can run it to suit myself!!
