Gidday Guys, hopefully someone will give you the definite instructions you require, but as the wiring colour codes for decoders are standard, you may get some ideas from here.....

Cheers, the Bear.

I have a Life-Like EMD F40PH and I like to add Digitrax's DH126D Decoder on it.  This is my first time adding dcc to a DC engine. is there anything I should know before I start?  I could not find any additional information from the walther's website about the engine.
