For those folks who want to try installing a DC/DCC decoder into their LGB locomotives, I've attached a PDF of a motor block's polarity for both the motor and track power connections. This is important for installing the correct positive and negative wiring polarity from the decoder to the LGB motor block. This is also important for ensuring the locomotive moves in the correct forward movement v. reverse movement.LGB Motor Block Polarity Wiring.pngLGB Motor Block Polarity Wiring.png

Some things to note about that diagram....

1) The front of the loco is deemed to be on the right hand side (i.e. forward is moving from left to right).
2) If the Motor block is reversed (i.e. pins to the front of the loco), swap the wires keeping the order as above from top to bottom and not as indicated on the motor block.
