- Channel Donation Steam Locomotive from Lynn McCurdy at the High Desert Modular Model Railroad Club. AHM imported from Mehano 2-8-2 Mikado. Late 80's version. Lets throw a Digitrax Decoder in it just to see what it does.

Wow Ron. Such a hassle and frustration, And you're an expert. Thank you for this important warning, heads-up, lesson. Cheers
Ron, your videos are both informative and entertaining. You have unique style that no one else could copy. You have a great personality that comes across genuine! Rock (Island) on!
Wow that really turned out well and runs great even coming from an old school guy like me who doesn’t have a DCC system.
now that video is very useful. THANKS RON
Thanks for another great video. The DCC rabbit hole can be bottom less. I have installed a number of decoders in my day as well. Then people find out that you can do it and want you to do all of their decoders too. Thanks again Ron!
Hey Ron, great channel, really like watching the older DC trains, but this was my favorite video so far, hope you do more DCC conversion videos. Learned alot, thanks Garnet.
Great video. Thanks for sharing. We have a local candy store that specializes in all the old candy. None of them taste as good as I remember. The necco wafers made great targets for our bb guns. Never did like to eat them. LOL
I would have over dosed on the NECCO's if I had attempted to do a first time DCC install, Ron without your expertise and great instructional video. 🍬
Never really cared for those Neccos Ron but learned something new
I watch all the videos love them thanks for all the awesome videos
I will watch you do the ole DCC stuff. I tried doing it off n on the last 7 or so years, my wife told me to stop trying, kept getting frustrated and throwing the darn controller across the room. She said go back to how I used to do my trains (DC), I didn’t get mad so much back then. She’s right. (for me anyway) good show Ron, loved the candy history part too, was fun.
Grand vid as always. . Enjoy the random history snippets. Keep up the great work ✌️
Another great video. Awesome demonstration. You make it look fun and easy. You have more patience than I do. LOL Thank you for taking the time to share this installation. Keep up the DCC videos coming so that I may eventually change from DC to DCC. Not everything, but some locomotives. 40+ years of collecting is a lot of DCC decoders. $$$$ adds up.
Thanks for showing us some DCC stuff! All my gear is DC but planning to take the plunge one of these days. Nice to know what I'm getting myself into!
Thank you. I will as soon as I can get the items I need and go DCC with one of my better repaired units.
I don't really care for DCC but I enjoy your videos so I have to watch. I've got several Mehano engines and they all run very well. I did change all the incandescent bulbs to LED's and put in a full wave bridge rectifier to keep the rear LED lit all the time Cheers from eastern TN
Thank you for sharing this with us 👍
Another cool video Ron.. The Necco company was in Cambridge MA. I used to work for Lotus Development (remember the spread sheet Lotus 123) and they were in Cambridge. I would ride by the Necco company in the early 2000's. They had rail service provided by Guilford.....It was pronounced 'Neck Co'
Hi Ron, so nice to see the little lady. She seems incredibly nice (just like you), and even puts up with you - what a bonus! I fight with the DCC stuff as well, with all the words and craziness. It makes my head spin. I have never done the CV thing as it is just too hard for me. One last funny thing - the British say sol-der-ing, pronouncing the letter L very clearly. They think soldering without the L is hilarious. Can you imagine why?
LOL I got the 1st notice about doing a dcc & here you are like Magic yah Ole Lynn McCurdy is a good Guy
