I'm the one
As every one will be aware, when it comes to anything other than wiring the track and structure lighting I am a 100% complete electronics moron. That is why I am so proud of myself this evening
I have two (2) Kato N Scale DC engines an F42 Genesis and a GEVO AC44ES. As said both are equipped with DC light boards.
This evening I successfully installed TCS DCC decoders in both engines and they STILL both work!
I was amazed at just how easy and quick it was to do. It took about 15 minutes to remove the body and DC light board then install the TCS decoder into it. Nothing to it what so ever. In short, the light board (literally) slides out and the TCS decoder literally slides back in. The only thing that had to be done was to add some insulation tape between the frame and the motor tabs on the decoder.
The F42 Genesis wasn't much harder or took much longer. The only additional thing that was needed was to solder the motor tabs to the decoder.
