As I have begun converting my locomotives to DCC the latest conversions are two B&O Atlas Master DCC System GP40 locomotives. The locos come with a DCC decoder installed but are set for DC. Converting to DCC involved switching a plug from one location to another. The hardest thing was figuring out how to access the decoder. I had to take the dynamic brake cover off. After testing them for a time I created a consist and the following 34 car run by is the result.
