Don't think about the expense of converting 30 locomotives all at once. Do
it on the installment plan (like paying taxes). Start off with one or two
units, your favourites, then as time and funds permit, and your expertise
in decoder installation goes, add one or two at a time. You may want to
add sound into some of the steamers too. It adds a whole new dimension,
although it's not for everyone.
That's what people tell me but that approach only works for those among us
who just like to see trains run.. For us operators, we need a fleet of
locomotives in order to run the time-table. Even on my small GER I need
some 20 DCC equipped pieces of motive power ranging from a Doodlebug or pair
of RDCs through various classes of steam locos through a pair of two unit
diesel consists. Equipping one or two at a time just doesn't always work.
Sometimes you have to bite the bullet and equip, as in my case, 20 plus
locos in one go.
Happy New Year.
