Dcc Sound Alco 2-6-0 Mogul decoder Wiring

[nickwtrains]

Hello railroaders, i am at a dilemma with my bachmann alco 2-6-0 mogul and its wiring connections, about 3 years ago i accidentally disconnected all 8 of the wires connecting to the plug, and now im buying a new plug but i dont know where the specific wires go on the decoder. It is dcc sound equipped from the echo valley set, but not ez app equipped. I was just curious if anyone had any photos or would be willing to take some of where exactly these wires go, from the plug and to the decoder, Thanks!

If your time and money is at all valuable to you, you should send that engine to a professional to straighten out.  Unless you really like backfeeding each individual circuit at a time to see what works what, burning the LED headlights out because you got the polarity wrong, and re-soldering half of it because you didn't get it right in the first place.

If you really want to identify the circuits, I've heard people say that you test each pair of wires with a 9 V battery.  I've never done that though .  I despise electrical work and soldering of any kind, and I would much rather be running my Railroad than running down blind alleys trying to figure things out.  You'll probably spend about $100 if you send it to a professional, but you'll have two or three evenings back, no heartbreaking errors, plus something that's done right the first time.

I fried my On30 Mogul PCB board trying to do what you want to do. I had to make my own diagram by looking at another Mogul and I obviously didn't get it  right. I ended up buying another Mogul.
