Michaelaface Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 I feel like I'm missing something really obvious here, but if I wanted to fit lights to a steam loco with a 21 pin decoder where do I solder the wires? directly to the pin connections on the locos pcb board or what? there doesn't appear to be any clear solder tabs on said board for lights/aux connections, just motor, pickups and stay alive, there's no documentation on the wiring with the loco, and I can't find anything on the Bachmann website I have had a search looking for the answer for this, and I either can't find an answer or I'm searching for the wrong thing, so rather than potentially making a mess thought I'd ask here first the loco in question is a Bachmann J11 and the lighting is the DCC concepts loco lamps and an LED for firebox flicker Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michaelaface Posted June 1, 2020 Author Share Posted June 1, 2020 I guess for anyone seeing this and looking for an answer, I went ahead and gave it a shot and I can confirm my work to be a success, lesson learned is I really need to invest in some heat shrink, I also didn't wire in the LED for the firebox flicker, as the LED I chose to use doesnt seem to have been the best, also included a video showing everything running fine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
