Ed, Yes, depending on how you setup your DCC wiring under the layout.
Mine, having been DC first didn't go through much simplification that
probably could have taken place. All in all, wiring is not my favorite
things to do, but I do a lot of it.
With the inside of an engine, just getting your fingers in there to work
is the challenge, think nothing of the fine wires that can get snagged
on anything and everything. Under the layout we dealing with much
heavier wires over longer distances, so just stringing the darn stuff
around the layout can be a trying situation especially when you've
turned much of that area into storage--again some of that due to
Southern homes.

Bob,
So what you're saying is, the inside of a loco after DCC looks like
the underside of a layout before DCC.

Cousin Bill,
Welcome the world if hi-tech, shoehorning things into small
spaces. I just mentioned last week that complicated lighting
projects look like drain clogs. This is the same in the new
expensive cars also--things like ride control, tire pressure
monitors all require connections and computers to function. Gone
are the daze when you used a pressure gauge and a dipstick!
