E 33 Decoder install

[richg]

I just looked a my 70 ton (DCC on board) it has 3 caps on the motor 2 on the board, my 44 ton also (DCC on Board) has 4 caps on the board  take them all out ??

I assume you can leave them in with the DCC on board.
Me and others put in a better decoder so we remove the caps as was explained already. Read all the messages in this thread.

Hi.

I received the harness, installed the decoder with no difficulties and cut the caps.  The engine ran, however backwards and the lights did not function.  I turned the 8 pin NMRA plug around, the E33 runs very smooth in the correct direction with the lights functioning properly.

My thanks again to all!!

That is a feature to prevent damage to the decoder. Some experience the front and rear lights operating in reverse as well as the direction.
