be sure to trace out the wires that go to the power pickups on the motor blocks, and make sure they are disconnected, as well as the tender pickups.

Don't go nuts tearing stuff out, just make sure it's disconnected at some point, and do NOT trust the battery/track switch.

Do the G scale LMs really have a DCC mode?

I thought only the HO scale ones had a DCC mode?????????

This is what's written in the wiring diagram in the LM-5S-G manual: "If you use Output 12, operation by DCC is disabled".

I imagine all the -G modules support operation by DCC.

Weird and inconsistent wiring... are you running track power or battery?

I'm looking to convert another steamer.  One option I'm looking at is the Aristocraft Mallet.  Is this a good candidate for a conversion?  Any bugbears I should look out for?

One obvious difference is the LM-5S-G has 12* outputs instead of 6 on the LM-4S-G, including 2 high power outputs.

* With caveat. If you use output 11 then input is disabled. If you use output 12 then DCC mode is disabled.
