I have been on some of those web sites and bought some stuff on modeltrainstuff.com. Adding some of the others to my list....thanks again for helping a novice learn.

Thanks for all the responses, they are appreciated. I am in the process of trying to decide if converting the GP40 is worth the time, effort and cost right now or should I spend my money on a locomotive that is DCC and sound equipped. I can always do the conversion (will be my first) later on.
Again, thanks for the info, it is helping guide me on my quest.

Thanks, that is very helpful. Haven't had much luck finding info on what decoder(s) works with the GP40. Very much appreciated.

ACY,
Thanks for the info. As I said I'm just getting into model railroading and things have change quite a bit since I last had trains. Thanks to your response I now have more info to look up.

Thanks!

I recently purchased my first train set in over 40 years. I have a GP40 (BNSF) that is not DCC ready. I would like to add a decoder and sound. If that is possible, does anyone have a suggestion on a type or brand for each. I just purchased the E-Z Command Digital Command Control System. Any help is appreciated.
