*TIPS* How to DCC a non-DCC Ready Locomotive

Finally! The video loads of people have been waiting for is here! It's a long one too, so grab a drink and summat nice to eat, like maybe one of them mini-donuts covered in chocolate, and enjoy! (The video and donuts) lol

Well done. A great intro to beginners and a clear explanation of how simple it is indeed (with care and patience and the preparation and right materials) it is to convert a DC loco into a DCC controlled digital loco.

Thanks again for a well presented, clear and easy to follow video guide. Although still firmly routed in DC operation I found the guide useful and informative. Your clear explanation and attention to detail has made this one of the best utube videos I have seen for a long time. Keep up the good work. Shaun Leonard.

Finally, a how-to without fear of steady CLOSEUPS!!! That will be crucial for N-gauge how-to's. Excellent work, much thanks.

Your videos are really good and appreciate the time you put in,me and my son have just got into 00 gauge today and I'm going to have to dcc from non dcc ready locos.

[@alanp7134]

That is the clearest and by far the best DC to DCC conversion that I have watched. Thank you and keep up your excellent work.

[@pim1234]

Very well explained and filmed ! Thanks very much !!

[@dalipparmar6134]

Wonderful presentation of converting to DCC, the video gives more confidence in attempting to do a dc loco to dcc now as a complete novice in model train hobby, thank you.

Thanks, for the video, I just got back into the hobby and need to DCC convert all my N and HO engines from the 70s to the 1990s. It was a big help.

Thanks very much for the tutorial. I happen to have an R8249 sitting next to me as my first DCC decoder. This video was a perfect explanation about the install process.

[@ScottishNSRailFan]

Excellent tutorial. I have nearly two hundred OO scale, locomotives in my collection and currently adding non sound decoders where applicable. I do have about forty with sound. Fortunately, I only have three non DCC ready locos, so your tutorial, has been very helpful.

[@TIMELORD327]

An absolutely amazingly simple tutorial! Understood all of it (and i don't understand electronics)

[@bigfella1952]

Absolutely brilliant video..explained simply and easy to follow.

[@SwindonJunction]

Just watched your video on how to install a DCC decoder, and have to say I 've just completed my first DCC conversion based on this, and all's well. Well done and thanks hopefully I can go a little further now and install lights into my Class 43.cheers. . . . Dave

[@ReyoNeutra]

Very well presented and pritty much very easy to follow. Thanks you two for putting this together! :)

[@Furtheronmusic]

Really clear well explained has given me confidence I could attempt this.

[@InterCity82]

@capmodesty - thank you for the comment! I shall definitely do a video featuring a tender driven loco.

[@Teesbrough]

This is such a useful video, even several years after you both made it. Hope you’re well, Will.

[@freedomandsecurity5632]

Thanks for a great video. I used it on my first conversion.

[@shade19752000]

I've just done a Lima class 31 today and it was my first time. It gives the old locomotives a new lease of life. I have quite a few more old ones that need to be done besides the ones that are dcc ready. I have got 34 dcc locomotives now and at 3 dozen to be done still.

[@Colin21454]

Thanks for sharing, i have around 12 very old locos, between 30 and 45 year old, and still working, with same ringfield motors, nice to know they can be chipped
