Converting Rivarossi 4-8-4 to DCC? Help!

If the tender has a coal load, you can cut it out and work through the hole. And then add in a removable load.

If it’s oil, you have the option of destroying the oil tank, saving as many pieces as possible, and building a new one.

Thank you Ed. I’ll deal with this coal load. I’ll comment according I finish my work.

Regards.

How did you make out with this project? I’m thinking about sending my D&H Challenger out to have it done professionally. It’s probably 20 years old. I wonder if I can swap shells with a newer UP Challenger that is DCC Ready?

Check the TCS decoder site. Many instructions for different brands of locos.

The link from wiring for dcc seems to be very good.
