    I'm trying to figure out the parts needed for DCC conversion.
    Is this a good plan for a consist? Other recommendations? TIA

    One loco with SDXH166D sound decoder and the non-sound DH166D for loco #2. No keep alive added, except for the small one included for sounds.

    Is there less need for keep alive capacitors with a consist?

    Athearn C44-9W HO Trains in Miniature, probably from 2005 +/- (not RTR or DCC ready).

    Operating in a consist should not increase or decrease the need for a keep-alive.
