Thanks for the advice - I was planning to wire the lights as a single on-off function and ideally make them directional using diodes in the same way as normal DC directional lights operate - assuming that's possible under DCC? The decoder I was looking at is the "Mac-coder" LE1000A, which is the cheapest ready to use decoder available over here (TCS are out there, but I can order these online and my LHS aren't really up to speed with DCC yet). Most of my Athearn locos have already had one side of the motor hard-wired to the trucks, so I'll probably go through the fleet doing a full strip, clean, rewire and rebuild as I fit decoders. Thanks again for the help!
