I just ordered one and 5 cars to go with it. I also ordered a diesel decoder to that needs to be installed in it. Now I just need to know how to install the decoder. I have read about the install in other Athearn loco's, so it does not sound to hard. The decoder is an MRC unit. I also ordered a Proigy Advance too. So now I will have several new toys to play with.
Any web site or PDF you can ponit me to for the install would be great. I have done a search here and have found ways to upgrade the blue box ones. That is another project though. I have 3 blue box engine and now the FP59. So far I have not found a thread about a decoder install. I know I will have to insulate the motor frame from the chassis, but that is about it.
Has any one out there run one of these? Is it just like the old blue box or are they better then that. This is the first MRR purchase in over 4 years.
