Picked up some Proto 2000 light boards and they have an 8 pin connection to "plug and play" DCC. Rigged a few up on athean blue box locos which I put out for sale on EBAY.

Is this process worth my time - runs on DC now but you can pop in a decoder - or is wiring in the decoder just not the hard???? Seems like a saw a few questions on how to convert blue box locos to dcc.

I have about 6 more boards to play with. Very interested in opinion on this modification to the blue box locos. thanks

Here is the LV F7A's on ebay - http://www.ebay.com/itm/171069934261?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1558.l2649
