BLI Paragon 3 Ditch Lights

[faraway]

I got two BLI Paragon 3 UP SW1500 today. I intent to make some cosmetic changes to fit a time period after 2000 and add ditch lights.

I have a key question before I remove anything:

Where does the Paragon 3 decoder installed in the SW1500 have connectors for the ditch light if at all?

It would be great to have photos of Paragon 3 decoders of the same physical shape installed in other locomotives with ditch lights attached.

Programming should be no real problem and thinking about drilling and milling is deferred until I am sure the ditch lights can be connected to the board.

Thanks a lot for help

 

ps. thanks moving into this forum, my fault

Reinhard,

I tried searching online for a basic Paragon 3 decoder diagram and came up with nothing.  I would suggest contacting BLI directly had have them tell you which decoder pads you need to solder to for AUX 1 & 2 (and AUX 3 & 4, if they are 6-function).

Tom, a good point. Looks like there is no fast solution. I added some dummys for now and put the SMD LEDs back in the box.
