I recently ordered the 3 truck 55 ton, product code 82496 and am anxiously awaiting its arrival. It's listed as "DCC Ready" and as I understand it, that means it is pre-wired to accept a decoder, aka Plug and Play.

The first million dollar question is whether or not this is compatible with Aristocraft's new 2.4 mHz TE Revolution? I've searched and searched and the answer hasn't jumped out at me, I read in a Garden Railways article that it was.

Second, I've read that there are some discrepancies with the wiring schematic, any idea of what wiring problems I can expect?

And lastly, overall opinion about the Shay's operation, reliability, etc?

Thanks for your time,
Jim
