    Hi guys,

    Was wondering if any of you can help. My father has just purchased a Proto 2000 E8/9 from E-bay, and we want to DCC it. Only trouble is, is that it is one without the plug-in boards, so we would have to hard-wire the decoder.

    Does anyone know of where we can find instructions to do this, as whilst we have done hard-wire decoder conversions before, we don't really want to mess this one up, as it is such a lovely looking and running locomotive.

    Any help will be greatfully received.

    Cheers,

    Chris

    Chris,
    Go to tcsdcc.com and look up installation pictures. They have all the information you need to perform a hard wire installation. It is very simple.

    Dean - I saw te old LL E8 listed here, but not the newer Proto. Being in the same boat, I was looking for the same info.
