I was able to pay off my Zephyr yesterday, and brought it home to set up on my temporary dining room table layout. To outfit a couple of locomotives (both Athearns with DCC quickplug), I had to buy the DH123AT (they were out of the others). I figured it was ok, since I have 5 or 6 analog Athearns (GP38s, GP40s, GP50s) to DCC, and could use the harnesses, and buy decoders when the shop gets more.
Well, aside from the crazy lack of detail in the instructions, I have some of it figured out, except for which end of the motor is the "brush end"?
What I've figured out is that I needed to remove the connector clip from the top, attach the harness clip leads to the tops of the trucks, but don't know where the copper clips go, or how to attach them. I've been told by one person that I need to isolate the motor, and by another person I didn't have to isolate the motor, so I'm confused. The Digitrax website wasn't that helpful.
Thanks in advance.
