BN Alco PA/Bs shame they're not dcc ready

or I'd buy them in a flash. I like the Alco PA's and the colour scheme is perfect, price is fine, but I don't want to mess around soldering decoders.

Hi  Poliss,  

I have  one  of  the  PA's like  the third  chassis  in the  pictures  here and  it  wasnt  hard  to  convert
http://www.visi.com/~spookshow/ccpa.html
Conversion to  dcc  was three  grooves  cut for the  wires  and  decoder  placed  at  the  front .......
You need to  know  really  if  its  a split  chassis  horizontally and  the two  chassis  halves  at  the  bottom are  split if  they are  you'll have  a  great addition to the  layout,  mine  runs  like  a dream

Too late, someone else got them. I can't find the new DCC ready ones anywhere, not in BN livery anyway.

Thanks Nick. I'd even buy them new if I could find them. I think it's the best colour scheme of the US operators, or should that be color?

Think ''Color'' to be  correct
