DCC for a Gandy Dancer, HELP!!! - Model Railroader Magazine

I found my GD and it does not look like it will be hard at all.  The motor contacts are indeed right on top and exposed.  There are small metal pieces from the motor contacts to each the  frame.  These are the conductors.  If you remove them, then you can solder your motor wires (grey and orange) directly to the motor contacts.  I would then prep and solder the red and black track pick up wires right onto the frame sides.  Looks fairly straight forward and not a difficult soldering job.  Your biggest problem may be getting  good solder connection to the side frame.  It may even be worth tapping in a screw and doing it that way?
