orientation of the circuit board

decoder in the same orientation.

from the lightboard that secure the
wires to the PCB. There are 4 plugs
(retainers) on each end and 2 on the
side for the motor connection.
Remove the red and black wires,
carefully noting where each wire
originally connected to the PCB.
Remove the lightboard itself by
pinching the black plastic release
tabs and pulling the board up and
off of the loco frame. (Figure 1)

in the same orientation as the
factory board. Push the decoder
over the plastic release tabs to hold
it in place on the frame. Reconnect
the wires to the decoder in the
same configuration as the factory
board using the black plug/wire
retainers. (Figures 2 and 3)
