I need to acquire dcc wiring instructions for several Spectrums.  Any suggestions?

most spectrum diesels have a split frame design. this link shows how to add a decoder to the h16-44:

a couple of notes:

while the locomotive pictured is an h16-44, the same basic installation also applies to the gp30, gp35, sd45 and c40-8/c40-8w locomotives. there may be others i am not aware of as well....

you don't have to use the exact decoder pictured either. any decoder with a wiring harness can be hard wired using these instructions. i have used decoders by digitrax and nce in my installations.

thanks to jim banner for this excellent pictorial.....

Ask about each loco, first. Don't assume if you have not done this before as your questions shows that you probably know very little about DCC installs.
