Page 1 of the TCS Z2 manual has a diagram on the right hand side that shows the wiring. Looks like they follow NMRA standards. The orange and grey go to the motor. The black and red go to the track pick ups. I assume the John Bull does not have a working headlight so the blue, white, and yellow wires can be cut off to save space. If you want to make the headlamp working save the white and blue.I have a Bachmann John Bull I want to convert to DCC. I bought a TCS Z2 decoder to put into the locomotive.
Can anyone give me the best way of installing this decoder into such a small engine? What wires should be connected to which connections?
