Hi Lutz, thanks for following along. Prior to the install my DCC guy took the 4-6-0 and did a check on it for it's suitability for installing a DCC decoder with the open frame motor. His conclusion was that it pulled a bit less than 1 ampere and he could not stall it under load. It has similar performance to an Athearn gold can motor. This fellow has a fair amount of install experience as he worked as an installer in a hobby shop for a number of years.
