[quote user="cacole"] If you change CVs to make things right, and subsequently have to reset the decoder to factory defaults, you'll be right back with the motor running backwards because those modified CV values will be erased. With previous hard-wired decoder installs, switching the wires to the motor was a permanent fix, but with a drop-in decoder you have no such option. [/quote] The price I payed for "simplicity of install".  CV 33 was programmed to 2 and CV 34 was set to 1.  This fixed the lighting issue.  CV 29 was programed to 35 to correct NDOT, long address and shut off DC operation.  I also elected to solder the motor leads to the board as they were originally press fit.  Next up: Correcting the ditch lights to above running board and installing the rest of the box (approx 8 parts sprues).
