[Philbahn]

Neil is right. P&S not got them?

 

[Phil]

Where does it go though?

 

[mike]

top left red plug

 

[Phil]

Oh, cheers Mike..

 

[mike]

to be honest , you can change the lights about by useing the dip switches
coach lights on, table lightsoff/ coach lights off, tabble lights on.. ect

 

[Phil]

I suppose, but that means taking the boxes of and stuff, rather do it with a button..
Magic you see..

 

[Steve]

Did not even know this was possible may have to check Paula coach

I have a rather old 55040 function chip here that wants a new home.
2 or 3 pints should do it - about a tenner.

Is it still a simple job to do? nphone:

 

[stockers]

Sorry - I really dont know.
Ask Mike!

Ive got one of these... but the board has been taken out and replaced by decoder. I will try and get a picture up at some point.

 

[mike]

flip the dip switches, remove blanking plug.// plug in

 

[bunnyrabbit03]

Indeed. A quality coach deserves a quality decoder

 

[Loco]

As said before - flip the two dip switches to off. There is no blanking plug, just connect the red plug on the 8FL in the red plug on the board. Default setting is F3 and F4 to switch ceiling and table lights on and off. Can't get much simpler.

Phil:
it is extremely simple to do, 10 minutes job. The Massoth 8FL plug right in; remove the lights switch cover, plug it in, set the dip switches, put the cover back. A small piece of double sided tape in required to secure it to the switch housing. It is a tight fit.
