Matt, Thanks for the quick reply. I've already checked and the motor is isolated from the rails. What confused me was how to connect these four wires. Right to left or back to front. I have my Lenz instructions, so I don't need any help there. This being my first attempt at decoder installation, I didn't want to just try things and fry my decoder. You are correct about reading the address being a safe way to test the wiring. Lenz even suggests that in their instructions. This loco only has a head lamp. Just a very basic loco. Thanks for the resistor suggestion. I'll check and see if I will need to do the same. Thanks again for your help. It'll be great to move forward on our DCC layout. Kent
