Examples of Installing DCC Decoders

We are able to offer DCC decoder installations in a wide range of locomotives and other rail vehicles, specializing in N-scale.
Some of these decoder installations are interesting or different, and so I have recorded what I did and how I did it, (primarily for my own use to help my memory!); feel free to use these examples to help your installations.
