I should know this but I want to be sure: If I can separate the power pickup from the motor, I can insert a DCC decoder. Yes - No?
Worst case: A Bachmann F7 $15 "train set" engine, the power pick up is on the front wheels, the motor is part of the rear wheels, they are connected with the traditional red and black wire, this is where I cut and splice in the decoder? Yes No?
(Why? you might ask) I have 18 F -T's, 3's and 7's and about 12 Geeps nicely decorated but not DCC friendly. I know a few of them cant be done because of the motor design, but I am hoping to convert a few of them.
Thanks
Bob
