Bernhard,
Thanks - I had considered adding pick-ups to the front wheels, but you post has me thinking that maybe they should be the ONLY pick-ups. That might allow me to eliminate the "short, hard" power transfer from the rear pick-ups on the back axel. This integration of the pick-ups on the back axel with the motor was supposedly the biggest problem in adding DCC.
So thanks for that - I will take a closer look.
As far as the motor and transmission go - it is a very smooth runner on DC, and with the motor under the floor, has a great interior. The decoder will go in the baggage compartment at the back, as it already has a frosted window.
