DCC install in H16-44 : B-mann help!!!

[delljohnb]

B-mann,

I'm wanting to install a digitrax decoder in my new H16-44.  The instructions are slim to say the least (only one sentence...and that directs you do a diagram).

The instruction list points and wire/color matches.  Are the wires from the decoder to be connected to the corresponding point?

Are there any other steps needed or wire soldering needed?

Your assistance is appreciated in advance.

Respectfully,

Dear John,
The units are not listed as DCC Ready, so the motor will have to be isolated first.
Perhaps one of our regular posters has done this and will have advice.
You can check Jim Banner's HO installation here:

Have fun!

there is a step by step that I did for a SD45 in this thread, toward the bottom

I have not installed one in a H16, the process should be basicly the same.

Have a Happy Easter.
