HLW/ Kalamazoo 4-4-0 DCC Installation (Bring Your Own Decoder)
IMPORTANT: This listing is ONLY if you have a DCC decoder purchased already! If you own a HLW or Kalamazoo 4-4-0 (e.g. the Lilly Belle or V&T Reno) and would like DCC installation, send me your locomotive and I will personally install DCC. Choose a g scale decoder that’s has screw terminals (my personal choice is the Blunami 4408 from Soundtraxx) and purchase it, then send me your locomotive, and I’ll take care of it. I can also add smoke and or a flickering firebox if you would like at an extra cost (I will supply parts and quote you the cost or you can supply such to save money). Upon purchase, please tell me the dimensions and weight for the box you are shipping g the locomotive in so I may send you a label to ship your locomotive to me for DCC installation. I will refund any excess costs once shipping both ways and work is complete unless otherwise requested Included in the price: Set up (including selecting the sounds of your choice). Removal of tender weight and installation of an 8ohm speaker in the tender (or 4 ohm depending on the board). Disassembly, installation and reassembly. Return shipping Note: you are paying for the speaker, labor, add on parts, and shipping back to you. Est. Turnaround time will depend on when I receive the engine, any work needing done and when the board and necessary parts for upgrades arrive. Any additional upgrades will be done upon request. At this time, I can only do the 4-4-0s due to my personal experience. If/when I get a chance to do another hartland/kalamazoo engine or another engine from a different brand, I will open availability. Any leftover cost will be returned to you If anything goes wrong, I will be in contact.
