KATO ED19 DCC?

[Vato]

Can I put a DCC decoder in a Kato ED19?

Hello,

 

Theoretically is possible to fit a decoder in any locomotive, all depends on how skilled you are and the size of the selected decoder. I don't have any ED19, but may be you can open it and check if it is similar to EF57 to follow this guide:

thanks Dani, ED19 looks like similar, but much smaller

I haven't been able to find a drop-in decoder for my pair of ED19's, even among NGDCC's offerings, so they are running occasionally on address 00 until I get around to hard wiring something into them.
