Soundtraxx TSU1000 in 8-pin DCC On30 pre2011 Climax

[jrl2442]

apologies if this has been covered before, and i've overlooked it.    intending to get a pre2011 Climax DCC (8-pin) before they totally disappear and a TSU1000 (9 pin),   have found a digitraxx 9 to 8-pin adapter but not finding much info on the soundtraxx.     have installed a bachmann aftermarket sound decoder into another Climax, so the physical install is not so much an issue as simply knowing what to do with the rest of the wires coming out of the TSU1000, if that makes any sense.   

thanks for helpful responses and/or links

Unused wires can be removed.

Suggest you wait for an announcement, due in about a week, from SoundTraxx about their new new decoder.
Then consider the new or a Econami instead of the TSU1000.

Appreciate the tip.  Will watch for an announcement from soundtrack.

Have not looked for a wiring harness with NMRA 8-pin plug on one end that will fit either decoder.
