That's excellent, thank you.

Once I found the six pin plug on the factory pcb board plugging the decoder in became simple. The six pin connector on the decoder was throwing me because there is no mention of that on the Soundtraxx site, but being a custom part that makes sense.

Adding a speaker and the Airwire components should be simple at this point.

Thanks

I did email Don so we'll see what his suggestions are.

Is it possible to purchase a Bachman Factory DCC decoder for the shay? One it was intended to have and work with the sound card I ordered just recently?

Its not in the parts list that I see.

Will do. Thank you!

I have a 3 truck shay. The goal is dead rail with Airwire and having sound.

I have an available DG583S decoder and bought a Bachman "OEM" Soundtraxx card for this shay. I plan to use an Airwire Convrtr-60 with what ever I end up doing.

My question is, is the Bachman Soundtraxx card just for sound? I see left and right rail and motor connection points. But also a six pin connector on the other side of the card I have no info about the six pin plug. Can this card be used as a DCC decoder or is it just for sound and the six pin plug is specifically for a plugin to Bachman decoder. If there is a Bachman specific decoder can I buy one? I don't see it listed on the parts site but should look again I guess.

I'm trying to figure out from this list of stuff what to put together into a solution.
