Gentlemen and (if we are so lucky) Ladies; I am going to install a Digitrax DH465 into my 343 steam rebuild. It has the heft and function outputs I need. Plus it is already on the workbench. This locomotive will be programmed to 43.
I am looking at the MRC 1908 sound only decoder. The question is programming. Do I program both to 43? Do I program the motor decoder to 43 and the sound decoder to, say, 93 and then permamently consist the 93 with the 43? Do I reverse this and consist the motor decoder to the sound decoder? How does one program a dual decoder locomotive? Am I restricted to programming-on-the-main? Should I have a way to electrically isolate each decoder and then use the programming track? If I isolate them, should they both be 43? Help! Thorin Marty Wauwatosa, WI
