Hi again,
I've got a 4-8-4 Class J, item no. 82105 here right in front of me. The tender has been opened, there's a 8-pin dummy plug in the middle socket of the board. After replacing it with an ESU sound decoder, the motor starts a hissing sound and the engine shoots off backwarts, independent from the intended speed. The plug has pin 1 at the "1" mark on the board. What the heck...?
The online description of the 82105 says "DCC ready" - the description imside the package doesn't mention decoder installation. So`?
Advice welcome.
Frank
