Decoder Installations
Installing decoders into locomotives or accessories is a very challenging and interesting aspect of our hobby. Many brands of mobile and sound decoders are available. Adding capacitance (Keep Alive or Current Keeper etc) dramatically increase performance, making the decoders less susceptible to momentary interruptions in power. Programming CVs to fine tune Decoder performance is yet another enjoyable dimension of Model Railroading.
