Seriously, the hardest part is getting all those plastic tabs off the bottom so
you can get the thing open.
My controllers were ultra tiny and cost me 44.95 per at Modellers Choice in
upper Hamilton (Upper James b/w Rymal and Stonechurch for those interested)
THey have lots in stock--a 25 dollar one, but the length of that barely fit
inside the motor and I didn't want to pry it in there--so I went with the
smaller one--it's like 8 mm by 15 mm--so tiny.
The deoder also has just the wire-outs needed for the DCC conversion--no extra
wires at all--and the colour codes matched the walk-thru converson on Tom Cooks
page:

Still trying to get the motors on different channels--not really working for me
at this time... but it's the weekend and I will prevail.
Oh, I was going to say, you give me the motor and the microcontroller and I'll
do it, no charge (well, minimal charge--we''ll work something out) :)
Oh, for Jeff, this is limited to like 5 and under per customer... ;)

It's an HO scale unit ($28 at George's Trains in Toronto) but it didn't fit in the pack, so we have it actually wired out into the inside of the locomotive. I have the pack (...)
