Hard install
« on: November 07, 2015, 10:43:39 PM »
I have two old but very nice locomotives that are not DCC ready. How difficult is it to hardwire in a 9 pin harness? Is there any place to find instructional documents or videos on how to install DCC harnesses which will allow use of an LM-2?

It does depend on the locomotive, but the wiring for RP is the same as it is for DCC. Google "Wiring a locomotive for DCC",  and you will find plenty of information and videos on how to do it.

Hi Bill,

The two locos are a Roundhouse Alco RS-3 and a Stewart Baldwin VO-1000.

Here are Soundtraxx's instructions for the Baldwin (PDF)

It should help you figure out the RailPro install for that one.
