This loco does not come DCC Ready, but it's a fairly easy installation as far as hard-wire installations go. Power pickup on both sides runs directly to the motor. Clip the motor loose from power pickup, and you have your four connections for power pickup and motor. Light wiring is normal, with one 680-ohm resistor for each.

Decoder Selection
Literally any wired decoder will work with this loco. However, because it's a hard-wire installation, we recommend using a decoder that has the JST-connected harness. All decoders listed below have the JST connector, so if you want to use one that doesn't have that connector you'll have to order it from our regular decoder page.. For more about these decoders, refer to the Decoder section.

Sound Equipment Selection

There is no sound unit made specifically for this loco, so you'll have to choose from what's available. Literally any Throttle Up! sound unit will fit, although one of the micros fits much easier, so it's a matter of what sound you want to listen to.

We only list the RGS Goose sound below because it seems to be the sound of choice for this loco. If you want to use any of Throttle Up!'s other sound units, you'll have to order them from our regular sound decoder page.

The speaker does not come with either of the sound units so you'll have to order them separately. While the 0.56" wide oval is an easy installation, the 0.63" wide oval will also fit without trouble. There's plenty of room for an enclosure for either one. Since round speakers don't provide as good a quality of sound as these ovals, they are not listed below. If you want a round speaker, you'll have to order it from our regular speaker page.
