The DCC Retrofit insert kit is a set of insulating spacers that go into the wheel wells of the 3rd and 4th driver on the N scale Kato GS-4 locomotive. Please note that only the FIRST production of this product will need this install, as it is a standard component of all other productions. This kit will also not be necessary if your hard wired decoder DCC installation isolates the motor and does not go through the tender.
We are currently offering this kit free of charge to Recommended Unitrack Dealers who will be willing to perform the installation for their customers. Please click here or click below for a listing of participating hobbyshops (last updated 6/12/08) to see if there is one near you.
