RE: (erielack) OT : SD 45 Model Help

Shawn

	I had a bear of a time trying to figure this one out, since the instructions don't make it overly obvious. To install DCC decoders in my EL SD45s, here's what I had to do:

	1) Remove the fuel tank (not necessary, but it makes the job a little easier)
	2) Remove the couplers
	3) There are TWO screws that hold the shell on, one on either side of the fuel tank area. ONE OF THE SCREWS IS HIDDEN UNDER ONE OF THE TRUCKS! You will need to use a tiny screwdriver and insert it through the truck sideframes to undo this screw.

	That latter part baffled me for the longest time!

	- Paul
