Hello all, I just received my D&RGW™ Flying Grande 4-6-0 and I am planning on putting a Blunami (BLU-4408) DCC decoder in.
My question is when using the the supplied jumper wire board, to wire in the Blunami, is there a need to wire in an inline resistor for the Front & Rear LEDs & the Firebox Flicker LED? Or since we are using the plug in jumper board, the 4-6-0 motherboard already takes care of voltage, basically doing the part of the resistor?
Also does the smoke unit on the D&RGW™ Flying Grande 4-6-0 draw more than 300 mA? If so, then I can NOT use one of the FX outputs on the Blunami as it would exceed the 300 mA limit. If that was the case, do you recommend wiring the smoke unit into the track pickups? Or the the motor outputs?

I appreciate any advice, or opinions you may have.
Thank you,
