Atlas O GP-35 2-rail DC/DCC ready, anyone done DCC install?

[Anonymous]

Atlas-O has a really nice 2 rail GP-35. I bought one in Nickel Plate Road. The detail is fantastic and It runs great on DC. It is also supposedly DCC ready. [:D] Unfortunately, it comes with an owners manual for the 3 rail model, with TMCC. Atlas-O do not yet have a manual for the 2 rail DC/DCC ready version [:(] , I called them and asked, was told it wasn't ready yet . Has anyone here had any experience taking this loco apart and installing a DCC decoder? I have a Zimo Mx69 5 amp decoder on the way, and a Sountraxx DCX sound module and speaker that just arrived. The loco was packaged with some 'extra' wire pigtails/plugs in the box, presumabebly for the DCC decoder hook up. No instructions on how to take the loco apart, but more importantly, no instructions on hookup of the DCC decoder/controller. I'm sure I can muddle my way through this finding the appropriate motor and lamp wires. It's not too hard to take it apart, but a little advice from someone who has 'been there-done that' would be nice on the DCC side of things. I want to make sure the headlights work directionally, the marker lights glow,etc. The Zimo has plenty of lamp functions and LOTS of amp capacity for the motors, plenty enough for the 2 big DC motors. Fortunately the Sountraxx DCX module is a snap to install, its very small, and only had 2 wires from the rails in, then 2 to the speaker. [:)] There are sound-slots for a speaker already done in the huge fuel tank, so that part will also be easy..I hope. I have not yet pulled the loco apart, but have seen a photo of it with the bodyshell off in a review somewhere. Should be plenty of room.

Nobody????? I did get a call from Atlas..They suggest a specific NCE decoder that is delivered with the correct fittings to just plug in. and een emailed me with instructions and data sheets. However, I want to use a Zimo, but with the NCE data and hookup info, I can extrapolate the connections for the other brands.
