Today I received the 4 car Metroliner in DC from Walthers.

I want to add decoders to it.

Has someone allready convert a regular DC Metroliner to a DCC Metroliner?

It will be running it in 2 seperated consists of 2 cars on the layout( I will not run the four cars in one(1) consist) so I was thinking to put in one car a sound decoder and in the second car a regeular decoder.

It seems that the DCC socket(plug) for the decoder is a 9 pin socket(plug).

Wich decoder can I use from soundtraxx for the sound decoder and wich for the regular decoder.

From the information sheet I can not find out if the DC version is with internal lights and headlights.

Only thing you can do for the sound decoder is check TCS, Soundtraxx or ESU sites to see what they may offer. As far as non-sound, whatever sound decoder you get buy the non-sound one so it will be easier to speed match.

Wish I could offer more. I still have my metroliners in the box… UGH!

The OP might try searching with a couple different search machines.

I did with Google. There is a little info out there.
