hi folk,
this has probably been asked already. I want to fit a Bachmann dcc decoder to a train which does not have a socket fitted to put it in. I have spoken to Bachmann and they tell me to just fit a standard ic socket and plug the module in. Is it really as simple as that? or is there more to it? I would assume that I would first need to mount the socket on a board first? and then just follow the wiring diagram to connect the wires in the right order.
Also are there any limits as to which trains they can be fitted to (oo guage).Thanks all

Antony

Thanks folk. Much appreciated.
Its actually my son that is into model trains (Im into rc aircraft but like a challenge). We have bought him the bachmann dcc controller and a decoder but I wanted to fit it to a train for him so he has one ready to go on Christmas day.

Again thanks
Antony
