Large / Re: Fitting a DCC Sound decoder in a Big Hauler 10 Wheeler
May 28, 2019, 09:16:34 PM
Mine are early version 2 and 3. I had to isolate the motor wires and the headlight wires. I added power pickups to the tender to help with going through some brands of turnouts. I pulled out the sound unit in the tender. I used the speaker in the tender for the sound.
The decoders I used had chuff pins and I used the existing chuff circuit in the locomotive.

There are many ways of doing it.
I put mine in the tender and added an additional connector for the power pickup, motor power, and front headlight wires.

I see the 2019 catalog is now up. Can we get a simple PDF version to download? I do not need all that fancy page turn and other time and space on the hard disk waste.

What scale are you working in? What are you building? Will it be placed on a home layout or a module that will be moved around often?

Are the following two locomotives DCC Ready for the above Decoder or do you need to do some wiring?
91403 James
91404 Emily
What is the proper speaker to use on those two locomotives?

#12 started out as a 3 truck 150 Shay. The RR converted it to a 4 truck 197 Ton. Like I said it is on the Shay Locomotive web site:

#12 was a conversion of a Shay that the RR had. It was built by Lima but converted by the RR.
On the Shay Locomotive Site look up Shay #3156.

Cass is at a site that was a lumber railroad. That RR used the locomotives without turning them. What you are doing at Cass is reliving the real world.
