DCC in Bachmann

Model Railroader Electronics and DCC

I have always been a Santa Fe lover, and I picked up this beautiful FT unit, but it seems that it lacks DCC. if anybody could provide me with any links to installing DCC in these types of Bachmann engines, it would be really helpful http://www.bachmanntrains.com/home-usa/products.php?act=viewProd&productId=514

Thanx!

www.tcsdcc.com has a FT B unit installation. Once you get yours open you will be able to see if it is similar to this or perhaps the F9 that they have in the listing.

The below link is from the Bachmann site and “might” be the one you have. It is their Syandar line, HO EMD FT A UNIT

I have not seen the inside but you most probably have to isolate

I think this is the one he mentions.

Below is the link to the install page for TCS and they have good decoders also. You want one with BEMF. Most new decoders have this feature so watch out for decoders from say ebay. Check the specs or ask here first.
