Hello all,
Just joined today. I have a nice fleet of Spirit of '76 locos. Looking to convert them slowly to DCC. Especially the "Super Spirit" Alco C630s. Any pointers in the power torque conversions would be most appreciated.
thanks, ron

Hi Ron,
Here's a link to a discussion on DCC for PT's. The pictures are gone but late in the discussion I describe where the wires go and how to isolate the motor brushes. Hope this helps.

I powered mine with a stretched Athearn Trainmaster frame...DCC will be a snap when that time comes...
