Not exactly drop-in/drop-out, but it went over better than my first Decoder install (The H-16-44 back there, something's up with the motor but I dont have the knowhow to figure out what). Other than having to solder back on a contact strip that snapped off from bending it a bit too far it turned out pretty good. Now I'm sitting at 10 DCC locos, though I'm dreading having to get to my Kato E8s and my PA/PB pair.
