I’ve seen folks who have done this on youtube but I guess I am wondering how to do it. I know I’ll probably drill the who and try to fill it in with some styrene behind the light. I am installing a digitrax decoder as we speak but dont know if i need a seperate decoeer to work the ditch lights and make them flash as is protypical. If any of you have installed this, how did you do it?
-

-
Who makes the F40?
-
Which Digitrax decoder?
-
Bulbs or LEDs?

SDH104K1C Decoder

LED’s Preferably
The SDH104K1C has no light outputs. You need a function board.
If I may, I would suggest the Soundtraxx Tsunami KT-1000 for this loco, not the Digitrax. The sounds are the best available. The sound from a Digitrax decoder is dated.

Is that compatible with a digitrax system? Im pretty new at DCC so my apologies if this is a dumb question.
Yes. All decoders, regardless of brand can be operated on any DCC system. (There is probably an exception somewhere, but in general this holds true)
If you purchase a Tsunami sound decoder and you can’t get to it program you need to purchase the Power Pax available at Tony’s Trains. It will also work great on the stubborn BLI’s with sound installed. Tsunami is by far the best sound decoder!
