Two points, (1) NCE makes a decoder for these locos; (2) those "resistors" are in fact coils or as we say in the trade, chokes. A choke acts like a resistor when AC passes through it or as is the case with DCC, pulsing DC. I too am looking to fancy up my five GP-35's. If you take off the fuel tank and flip it over, it is full of dimples where holes would be. Good luck. John Hi Scott,
