Hi,

I have recently purchased a Lifelife Proto 2000 FA1/FB1 set and wish
to install a DCC decoder in to each engine. These are the 1st Release
of these models, and as such, there are no specific DCC instructions
included (unlike in later Proto 2000 models). However, having
examined the circuit board in each model, there *does* appear to be a
NMRA Standard 8-pin socket... This contains a dummy plug for DC
operation that is easily removed. However, I am uncertain as to
whether or not this really is a DCC socket and, if it is, which way
round I should plug in the decoder (i.e. which is Pin 1?).

Can anybody help me out on this one...?

Thanks,

Ben

Hello Ben.
As I model Santa Fe I don't have any FA1/FB1 units, but take a look
at:

for a picture of the installation.

Regarding the orientation af the plug just try it in.
If you have problems with lights or things seem to work backwards
just turn it around, no harm done.
