Soundraxx Southern Steam decoder into a Bachmann J DCC ready Ho loco

[NW Modeling List]

The decoder might be set up for 16v lights?   Just guessing.   I fried  
my J's lights with a Soundtraxx Steam decoder from 2002? era.  Sounds  
great, but I cooked the LED lights.  I'l re-visit the lights with MV  
lenses and Grain-Of-Dust lights.


I hate my Bachmann J because of the wimpiest mechanism I've even seen  
in a 'modern' HO steam engine.
I'm seriously looking at Gutting it and putting in a real motor and  
NWSL gearbox.
This all depends on axle diameter.
My Brazelton "Auto-Quarter" is for 1/8" axles and slightly smaller  
Brass imports size.

Hi

I have fitted the above decoder into my Bachmann J which previously  
had the DCC ready decoder.

All works well and I am very pleased, but, the lights don't work. The  
generator sound comes on but no lights on the loco.

Any ideas please?

Many Thanks
