I still need to reassemble, but all the wiring is intact and tested. NCE supply a free 4 amp decoder with their systems. I fitted it to a late 1980's LGB South Park Mogul. The three pin conversion was pretty straight forward. I gutted the stock circuit board and wired up the decoder using just the headlight and smoke functions. As the loco only has a single light bulb, I replaced it with a 24 volt bulb. NCE have no provision to reduce board voltage for low voltage bulbs.
I had a very old new old stock 18 volt smoke unit from a LGB #2080D, so I fitted that to the loco to replace the standard 5 volt unit. I normally never fit smoke units to my locomotives, but carried this out more for the practice of mapping functions experience. A very impressive amount of smoke ensued. My system is only powered by an 18 volt DC power supply, so DCC power at track would hardly exceed around 15 volts.
