Title: Bachmann DCC ready Spectrum locomotives
Post by: Reinhard S on January 15, 2009, 12:44:56 PM
I have a question concerning the Spectrum DCC ready locomotives.  Do they come with the NMRA standard 8 pin plug or are they pre-wired for the decoder without the plug?

Thank you in advance!

Usually those with tenders have 8 pin NMRA sockets. I know the 0-6-0T and 44 ton you need to sodler the wires to seven pins on a PC board in the loco. Look at the Product Reference diagrams.

Correction, the 0-6-0T has a 9 pin JST connector. You can also unsolder the JST connector and solder in a decoder if room is at a premium.
