Does anyone know what the max current draw is for Large Scale Thomas?

A friend is trying to add a decoder to a Large Scale Bachmann Heisler. I have looked through the online parts/manuals and cannot locate a manual to understand the wiring. I will put a picture of the board below. Can someone please help me identify the wires to add a decoder and/or possibly find the manual online?  Also, does anyone know if this loco has LEDs or incandescent?  Thanks

Can Bachmann DCC locos be programmed on the main? Or do they need to go on a programming track in Service Mode?

Thanks

Can I take the shell from my Bachmann GP7 and put it on the chassis of a GP35 (EZ APP)?

I posted this question in the Thomas section and got no replies.

I am modifying a G scale Toby to run with a BlueRail board. Inside Toby, a set of orange and brown wires lead to a small round circuit board on the end of the motor. It seems to have some resistors and a few capacitors. What does this circuit board do? Can I leave this circuit board in place? (BlueRail uses the same pulse-width-modulation to run motors that a decoder does to run motors).

Are there keep alives in all Bachmann DCC SoundTraxx locos?

Thanks. I'm using a BlueRail board. If anyone knows if my polarity reversal is cool feel free to chime in. Otherwise I'll just give it a shot.

I have some leads that I can control wirelessly with a smartphone, and I am trying to utilize them to control an EZ Track turnout.  I have 1 common positive lead, and I have up to 4 negative leads. I am able to control each of these negative leads as a momentary switch (from my smart device).

I'm wondering if I can use them similar to the 3 wires typically used, except that the polarity is swapped (I would have a single positive lead, and 2 negative leads).

I have a friend (disabled) who has asked me about putting a decoder in his Grizzly Flats Emma Nevada. I am not super familiar wit this loco.

The product description says includes "circuit board to accommodate the control system of ... NMRA/NEM DCC).  Does this mean it has an 8-pin socket on it?


When I look through the parts online, I see 3 possible PCBs for 2-6-0s:

Does anyone know which one of these is in the Emma Nevada?

I have a pair of wires (which I am able to remotely control) that I would like to use as a momentary switch to trigger an E-Z Track turnout. I am able to momentarily complete the circuit on these 2 wires.  Can anyone please explain to me how I can use these 2 wires and wire them into an E-Z App turnout and trigger it?

This site says the Climax has a "slip current" of 2 amps (hard stall 5):

I don't pull a lot of cars.

I would think Bachmann would have some sort of harness available that plugs into the Climax and gives you either bare wires or a connection option.

Is this 21-pin to 8-pin connector part of the equation?

I would like to add a decoder to a DCC-Ready Climax. The Climax does not have an 8-pin socket as I imagined. Is there a plug that I can get that plugs into this loco so I can have connectivity with a standard 8-pin DCC decoder that plugs in?

If I could get the name of that plug (or a link) that would be great.

Also, is the DCC-Ready plug inside the boiler?
