    Curious if anyone does DCC install services? I have 1-2 which aren't simple board swaps or decoder ready.

    Thanks!

    What scale, which locos, which decoders?

    I did some quick searching, and both will require frame modification (which you probably suspected, knowing they aren't "DCC ready"). The GF, of course, has the most room, and I even found a YouTube video of an ESU LokSound install! As with all 4-6-0s, would need to put a micro decoder either under the coal load in the tender, or in the cab with wires running to the motor in the tender.
