Trackmobile install - upnick - 07-15-2009
Hi Guys,
Have any of you converted the factory direct/overland trackmobile to DCC ? or know of a ''how to'' on doing so preferably with pictures ?

Thanks shortliner i have seen the DCC version but have the chance of a dc one and wondered how difficult it is to convert.

I would imagine its like an N scale install... Not a lot of fun but it can be done. I have the DCC version. Good luck!

Unfortunately, the Trackmobile has a custom NCE decoder specifically designed to be used on the trackmobile. To my knowledge, it is not available separately. You might be able to add a different decoder but i don't know how you'd do that. I do know that i have to fix a window that popped out in mine, so when i open it up, i'll give you my ideas.
I'm assuming you already have a DC trackmobile, but if you don't, just buy the trackmobile with DCC already in. the savings is not worth the headache. in the end, a small, cheap decoder will cost you just about $10 less than just buying it already with DCC.
