I DCC'd an AA pair of AM FA's a few years ago. The second unit is unpowered so I mounted contacts on the rears of the units and ran jumpers between them. This takes care of the headlight on the second unit. Track and sound decoders (and speaker) are in the powered unit.
Of course, on the first installation, I didn't pay attention to lamp mounting, and some of the smoke in the decoder escaped. THAT decoder went into a unit not requiring a reverse headlight.
