Thanks Stan
Right now I have the "new" trucks with 2 wires  (1 rd & 1 blk) to the coal bunker. There are 4 contacts on each truck with the above 2 wires. To get 4 wires do I add wires to the 2 remaining contacts, and run them back to bunker to connect to decoder?

Thx for reply. Both my soundtrack instructions & NCE instructions say to be sure motor & lights are isolated from frame. My only question is do I have to isolate anything on my Shay with the replacement motor units #88999.
Any info is greatly appreciated

Dear Bachman
I have an early LS 36 ton Shay (circa 1999). It has "new" power trucks #88999. Is this possibly DCC ready, or do I have to isolate motor & lights from frame for DCC decoder installation. If so can you recommend the easiest method to do this. Thx
