I had Dan Kirlin of Kirlin Scale Models install the decoders.  There are two in this engine, one in the engine for power control, and a Soundtrax decoder in the tender for sound control.  This eliminates excessive wires between the engine and the tender, there is only one, and it has a miniature plug. This doesn&#8217;t add to programming complexity as they are tied together. He did an excellent job.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to this, I painted and weathered the engine to reflect a hard working Pacific.  I used it in passenger service on my layout.  Its lettered for the Port Kelsey, painted on, not decals, so the results are very realistic.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bronx-terminal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_7412.jpg\" title=\"USRA Pacific\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bronx-terminal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_7412s.jpg\" title=\"dsc_7412s.jpg\" alt=\"dsc_7412s.jpg\" border=\"2\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bronx-terminal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_7413.jpg\" title=\"USRA Pacific\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bronx-terminal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_7413s.jpg\" title=\"dsc_7413s.jpg\" alt=\"dsc_7413s.jpg\" border=\"2\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bronx-terminal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_7414.jpg\" title=\"USRA Pacific\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bronx-terminal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_7414s.jpg\" title=\"dsc_7414s.jpg\" alt=\"dsc_7414s.jpg\" border=\"2\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This engine is a great runner!
