Mr. Bachmann,
What are the connections for the Bachmann decoder scolors? Orange for M+, Black for Motor -, .........

I want to hard wire one of your decoders, but have always used Digitrax. I looked in Products, for a reference sheet, but did not find a breakdown....

Thanks for the help.

As far as I know, all decoders use the NMRA standard for wire colors when using the 8 pin.
